Document Summary

Nonstandard jobs- part time, contractual, and seasonal work; multiple job holding; work secured through temporary work agency; self employment: ex. Most worked as peasant farmers, eventually moved to urban areas to work in factories. Division of labour- specialized tasks performed by different categories of workers; division of labour increases when work is broken down into smaller components. Second industrial revolution, needed efficient system in offices; another shift of division of labour. Well educated= more likely to get job. Early industrial base= primary production (mining, fishing, logging) and secondary production (manufacturing) to tertiary production (service industries) Goods-producing (manufacturing) industries shift to rapidly producing service industries. Deindustrialization- shifts from goods to service-based economy; reduces unionized, well paying, full time manufacturing job and increases bad jobs. Good jobs proved extrinsic rewards- high wages, good benefits, employment security, opportunities for advancement. Can also provide intrinsic rewards- decision-making opportunities, challenging, non-repetitive work; autonomy that allows self-direction and responsibility over tasks.
