Nonstandard Jobs, Substandard Benefits (Iowa Policy Project)

[CornField]

There is a new report out from the Iowa Policy Project: "Nonstandard Jobs, Substandard Benefits" which outlines the problem facing many Americans who work non-standard jobs. The report says the previously reported figure of 46 million uninsured Americans is not an accurate figure because many workers were counting their healthcare discount plans as insurance coverage.
