Political Economics of Day Labour: Regulation and Restructuring of Chicago's Contingent Labour Markets.
Theodore, Nik
Urban Studies, v40 n9 p1811-28 Aug 2003
Examines the restructuring of urban employment regimes through the lens of low-wage, temporary employment and its attendant social division of labor at the urban scale. Focuses on the ways in which a "regime of precarious employment" has been embedded within a regional growth model and describes emerging forms of labor market regulation associated with this employment regime. Contains an appendix on the estimated wages of homeless day laborers. (SM)
