Abstract
Today, manpower is the largest employer in the US. This fact highlights the penetration of temp agencies into job markets in most of the capitalist countries. These companies essentially provide temporary, often part-time and low paid jobs with low protections, job insecurity and few carrier evolutions for workers. The structure of job market has deeply evolved since the 1970s in the frame of a post-industrial economy to an economic framework based on neoliberalism, service economy and new employment relations. This paper will focus on the causes of the rise of precarious employment and will analyze the shift from Fordism economy to neoliberalim as a key issue in the rise of precarious employment.
