Essays on Policies in Labor and Urban Economics Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Economics, University of Minnesota, 2022 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: ProQuest Dissertations & Theses (PQDT) Keyword(s): Employment, Intermittent/Precarious; Job Characteristics; Work Hours/Schedule; Work, Atypical; Work, Contingent Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In the second chapter, I study what motivates individuals' decisions to engage in contingent work or traditional employment and I document the characteristics of these two labor markets. Contingent work includes independent contracting, freelance work, consulting, gig work, temporary agency work, and on-call work. I show that there is greater dispersion in hours worked by contingent workers than by traditional employees. In addition, contingent workers' annual income is lower by 33 percent, their hourly wages are lower by 11 percent, and their job spells are on average 11 weeks shorter than those of traditional employees. |
