Quote:The what? The “precariat” is a term popularized by British economist Guy Standing, describing a growing class of people who feel insecure in their jobs, communities, and life in general.
They are…
…the perpetual part-timers, the minimum-wagers, the temporary foreign workers, the grey-market domestics paid in cash… the techno-impoverished whose piecemeal work has no office and no end, the seniors who struggle with dwindling benefits, the indigenous people who are kept outside, the single mothers without support, the cash labourers who have no savings, the generation for whom a pension and a retirement is neither available nor desired
Hmmmm, in other words, your average working class.
Your average 'Joe the Plumber'
The ones struggling to make ends meet, barely keeping their heads above the water.
Fancy word for it...."precariat"
Sounds like a good handle anyway
