A Washington Post column describes two formerly affluent friends in New York facing layoffs. It highlights a broader trend of gig work among white collar workers, notes a Daily Beast poll showing a third hold freelance or two jobs, and cites Bureau of Labor Statistics data on rising unemployment. The piece rails against dwindling job security and chronicles adjustments like recession chic and pink slip communities. It questions how long the trend lasts and mentions sources Parker and her contact.
