(1) For multiple jobholders, contingent status is based on their main job—the one at which they usually work the greatest number of hours.
NOTE: Contingent status on the second job is not available for a small share of multiple jobholders; thus, the number of contingent and not contingent second jobs will not sum to total. Workers with traditional arrangements are those who do not fall into any of the "alternative arrangements" categories. Detail may not sum to total because there are a small number of workers who were both "on call" and "provided by contract firms." In addition, whether a worker is in an alternative arrangement on the second job is not available for a small share of multiple jobholders. Dash indicates no data or data that do not meet publication criteria (values not shown where base is less than 75,000).
