I'm curious! I would love to hear more about your ideas. Could you explain why precarious employment must be relevant, and thus why the failure to discuss it is a significant failure?

I ask this because it's not at all obvious to me why this would be the case.

well if jobs are extremely poorly remunerated, are unrewarding & have poor long-term growth options, not working becomes more attractive of course

The article in question appears to be postulating, in part, that the value of rewarding jobs with long-term growth options is becoming increasingly marginal. With that in mind, what is the relevance of precarious employment situations where alternative possible situations are not of significantly different value?
