Reviews

""A lively, fascinating panorama of the neo-Dickensian labor regime so many workers endure."" * Publishers Weekly * ""Eye-opening. . . . A startling examination of the patchy response to pandemic-era unemployment."" * Kirkus Reviews * ""Side Hustle Safety Net provides rich case studies and thought-provoking analyses of precarious workers during the pandemic, guiding readers to observe the trend of poly-employment and drawing attention to the deficiencies in the social safety net.""   * Convergence * ""The book…is full of rich qualitative data that Ravenelle works into a cohesive narrative time and again and leaves the reader excited to hear about the results of the ongoing (as of the time of writing) third phase of the study.""   * Social Forces * ""The author’s concept of the “side hustle safety net” is a timely and important one that illuminates the strategizing that precarious workers must undertake in the face of pervasive societal and individualized risks."" * Exertions * ""Highly recommended."" * CHOICE *
