Project Project and Job Market

: Interns, often working without pay and social protections, are among the crowded frontlines of precarious employment, according to Rabble. The intern slogan, getting a foot in the door, is a wager. In a job market where we skip from project to project, contract to contract, employer to employer, we adjust our collective behaviour to unstable work. Cynical resignation to unpaid work is widespread. And yet, interns and their allies resist. And reluctance to speak out is understandable in a hyper-competitive labour market regulated by reputation.
