Summary
New research by MIT professor Paul Osterman challenges the notion that Gen Z avoids traditional careers, arguing instead that the workforce has become increasingly "disposable." His book, "Disposable Workers: The Transformation of Employment," reveals that 35% of the American workforce, including freelancers, contractors, and "marginal workers," are in roles with an expectation of high turnover, debunking the idea that young workers are voluntarily opting out of stable careers.
