Temp by Louis Hyman is a labor history and economic analysis of how stable, long-term employment in the United States gave way to temporary, contract, on-call, and other nonstandard forms of work. Rather than treating the gig economy as a new phenomenon caused only by digital technology, the book traces its roots through decades of managerial strategy, consulting practice, labor policy, and shifting ideas about who deserved job security. Hyman combines archival research with accessible historical narrative to show how employment became more flexible and workers became more exposed to insecurity in pay, benefits, and protections. The book is both a history of work and a critique of the institutions that normalized precarious labor. It is written for general readers as well as those interested in labor history, public policy, and the changing structure of the modern workplace.
