Contingent workers are those who work only on a temporary or as needed basis. Some workers use this type of employment to supplement their primary income, while others hold this type of position until they can find permanent employment. With the current economic crisis in the U.S., many employers have replaced some full-time positions with temporary or as needed positions.
