contingent work

Contingent work refers to employment that is temporary or non-permanent, often including freelancers, contract workers, and part-time staff. Unlike traditional full-time jobs, contingent roles may not offer long-term stability, benefits, or a set schedule. Workers in this category are typically hired for specific projects or tasks, allowing companies flexibility to adjust workforces based on demand. This type of employment has grown in popularity due to its adaptability for both employers and workers, reflecting changing attitudes towards work and the economy.
