Permanently Temporary: The Truth About Temp Labor

VICE News did a full-length report about the realities of temporary labor in the United States. The report delves into the harsh conditions and long hours that workers face to make ends meet, often not even making enough to get out of poverty. With the holiday shopping season coming up, I think it's important to remember that there are actual people and lives connected to the things we order online. In recent years, Amazon and Wal-Mart have gotten a ton of negative press about the way their temp workers are treated, only to be tossed aside once the demand for the holiday shopping season subsides.
