This is in large part because the sectors that saw the largest move towards alternative work arrangements—like education and medicine—have a high proportion of women.
Anyone know more about this? What jobs in those areas are becoming contract based?
- csours 9y agoMy little sister is a physical therapist assistant (usually the person actually administering physical therapy), and a lot of her jobs have been contract based.
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoAh, I didn't realize those jobs were starting to turn!

- InitialLastName 9y agoA female relative of mine is a occupational therapist (registered). Over the last 15 years, she's had a series of full time jobs in facilities (mostly retirement care) that each eventually converted into contract-based work, mostly as the facilities consolidated into umbrella companies. In each case, the working conditions have deteriorated to the point where she has been driven to find a new job, but the sense I get is that finding non-contractor work in that field at this point is getting asymptotically more difficult (at least in the mid-Atlantic US).
