Beyond academia, contingent employment is in the news, too, and increasingly common among millennials. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, "Younger workers were four times more likely to have contingent jobs than older workers." (I have no statistics on how the writers of all the hyperlinked article were paid; in commercial publishing there are many examples of writers being paid in "exposure," and not by cold hard direct deposit or any other means.)
Alex Kudera’s award-winning novel, Fight for Your Long Day (Atticus Books), was drafted in a walk-in closet during a summer in Seoul, South Korea. Auggie’s Revenge (Beating Windward Press) is his second novel. His numerous short stories include “Frade Killed Ellen” (Dutch Kills Press), “Bombing from Above” (Heavy Feather Review), and “A Thanksgiving” (Eclectica Magazine).
