A Patchwork Quilt of Part Time Jobs

For once in my life, I seem to be right in the midst of a trend. More and more people are putting together an employment amalgamation. Multiple part time jobs = Replacement full time income. With the state of the current economy more and more people will be forced into gigonomics.

The sad thing about this trend is that many individuals are not able to replace the benefits they received from their former full time employer. Many are forced to go without health insurance or purchase an expensive individual policy. The only other alternative for some is to add a part time job with benefits into the mix. (Starbucks anyone? er or maybe not?)
