Information on why, how and where people take part in temporary work (as opposed to getting a full time job, the lazy skiving...)

Well, seeing that this has been in PR for almost 2 months without anyone commenting on it makes me feel embarassed. So, here goes a few comments:
1) Many of the factoids in this entry are obviously regional in nature (i.e., the minimum wage is obviously referring to some specific country, but you don't say which it is). I'd suggest either changing the title/topic to "Being a temp worker in XXX", or trying to be a little more international in scope.
2) I think it might be nice to add something like a list of the "pros and cons" of being a temp.
Just my 2 cents.

Ms. Shakespeare, are you still out there? Still interested in pursuing Peer Review with this one? Have any response to my earlier comments?
