註釋

The contingent work force is rising. Policymakers and analysts must respond. These are the central themes of Dr. Belous's paper in this symposium. Twenty-five to thirty percent -- his current upper- and lower-bound estimates of the size of the contingent work force -- are the basic statistics underpinning his call to arms. Dr. Belous includes in the contingent work force all workers who are temporary, part-time, self-employed, or in business services. The spread comes from different methods of handling double counting. The figures update similar estimates he published in 1989 in his well-known book, The Contingent Economy. Dr. Belous has done a great service in attracting attention to the problems of contingent workers. His estimates are perhaps the statistics most frequently cited by scholars writing in this area. A group of workers comprising 25 to 30% of the work force is worthy of serious attention.
