Are You a Disposable Worker?

Are you a disposable worker? Are there fewer “good” jobs in your communities?

In the face of a global recession and increasing technology there is a diminishing supply of stable jobs. Companies are shifting to hiring people for part-time, disposable work. While disposable work can manifest itself in different ways, the workers can typically be fired easily and usually they do not have a social safety net.

Pulitzer Center grantee Shiho Fukada has been compiling photography and stories on disposable workers, and wants to know what you have to say about disposable work and what you think we can do to improve how we work today.
