About the Study
In 2019, the Chief Evaluation Office’s Evaluation Technical Support contract, implemented by Manhattan Strategy Group, partnered with the W.E. Upjohn Institute for Employment Research to conduct a two-part paper series on trends in contingent work and alternative work arrangements in the United States under the Evaluation Technical Support portfolio of studies. The analysis describes the characteristics of workers in these arrangements, and the implications of these arrangements for worker outcomes.
This Department of Labor-funded study contributes to the growing labor evidence-base to inform worker protection, labor standards, and workplace-related benefits programs and policies and addresses Department strategic goals and priorities.
