I'm guessing this [1] is the report you're referring to.

The problem is that "contingent workers are persons who do not expect their jobs to last or who report that their jobs are temporary" and I don't think factors in anyone with a full or part-time job that also does side work.

The report was actually awaited on with great fanfare. When it didn't confirm preconceived notions it seems to have been buried. I only heard the actual results from an obscure show on Harvard Business Radio.

To me this exemplifies everything that is wrong with the media today.
