According to a recent Princeton / Harvard study, alternative work arrangements have been on the rise since 2005. “Alternative” includes temporary help agency workers, on-call workers, contract workers and independent contractors or freelancers. Almost all of the net employment growth in the U.S. economy from 2005 to 2015 seems to be from alternative work arrangements.

The study proposes that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) could have contributed to the growth of alternative work arrangements.
