Daywork, a research library for work hired by the day

Field notes

The publication’s method is unusually explicit: articles identify the researchers and publications behind their claims, while sampling, measurement, and interpretation criticisms are placed next to the findings they qualify. Current examples discuss the 2004 national day labour survey directed by Abel Valenzuela Jr., statistical categories that combine different forms of contingent work, and E. P. Thompson’s account of task time giving way to clock time. Daywork says its library is open without registration or payment.
