Quince Mountain on applife labour

'I’m not here to judge. If your two-item order consists of K-Y personal lubricant and goldfish crackers, go for it! But I’d be lying If I said that I’m not sometimes curious. Just in that way that one wonders how other people manage to get through this life. I’m mainly looking for tips. How do people survive their days'

Notes from Approximately 12 Days of App-based Food and Beverage Delivery in Marquette, MI

Quince Mountain

II 71% dei lavoratori gig in #Kenya possiede una qualifica, una istruzione o una formazione formale ottenuta dopo la scuola secondaria superiore, presso università o istituti di istruzione professionale.

Non lavorano a tempo determinato perché mancano di competenze. Sono lì perché i mercati del lavoro formali non hanno spazio per loro.

Questo è un fallimento politico, non personale.
