As he peeled off his many layers in our booth at a Dunkin' Donuts, he apologized for smelling like cigarette smoke, saying that bad winter weather always makes him think a little harder about quitting for good. Charlie explained that smoking was a small comfort in what he felt were uncertain times. "It's like, every day you just you walk out your door and you're already stressed. Because we never know, even these days, you never know what the next day is going to be like. You have no idea. I'm just trying to keep my guys busy." Charlie's "guys" are a small crew of two or three manual workers he tried to keep in regular work through a patchwork of contracting, demolition gigs, and moving jobs. Looking older than his forty-seven years, Charlie told me about how he came to start his own home contracting and moving business after he left his union construction job when his boss was replaced by someone much younger than him. He enjoyed the freedom and independence that came with "being his own boss": being my own boss, I don't have to deal with nobody. And for me, because I'm forty-seven, I can't deal with a twenty- or thirty-year-old, some young kid like you being my boss."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Gig economy $z United States. 650 0 $a Self-employed $z United States. 650 0 $a Internet $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Labor market $z United States. 650 0 $a Precarious employment $z United States. 650 6 $a EÌconomie aÌ la demande $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Travailleurs indeÌpendants $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Internet $x Aspect eÌconomique $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a MarcheÌ du travail $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 6 $a Travail preÌcaire $z EÌtats-Unis. 650 7 $a Gig economy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02024936 650 7 $a Internet $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00977187 650 7 $a Labor market. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00990036 650 7 $a Precarious employment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01749569 650 7 $a Self-employed. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01111635 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ticona, Julia. $t Left to our own devices $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2022] $z 9780190691301 $w (DLC) 2021044707 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240416012031.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C27B48CCFBB611EE91A57D0E3AECA4DB 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
