"Gallup defines a good job as 30+ hours per week for an organization that provides a regular paycheck."
Perhaps this definition hasn't caught up with the increase in freelancing and self-employment. Underemployment, particularly among lower skilled workers, surely is an issue in the U.S. but Gallup's approach could be undercounting some newer types of "good" jobs.
- unreal37 12y agoYeah, agreed, that's a terrible definition of a good job. 1) Many people live off investments, pensions and passive income 2) Many people have income that is not regular or predictable, but large 3) Many people have good paying jobs that don't require 30 hours per week That's a very narrow definition. That's why they are only asking for a target of 50% I guess.
