Market work - paid/salary/benefits (pensions, health care, days off) Not always by choice, but some choice. Domestic work, volunteering, taking care of yourself. Something you want to do & sometimes do it because you have to do it. Make workers forced part timers no benefits. The workers don"t have power - easy to be replaced most vulnerable worker w/out power. Workers for for company that keeps the economy going but not their own economy.
