	The share of U.S. workers in alternative work arrangements has increased substantially in recent decades.\&nbsp; Micro longitudinal analyses show that unemployed workers are much more likely to transition into alternative work arrangements than other workers.\&nbsp; Macro time-series evidence shows that weak labor market conditions lead to an increase in non-traditional work.\&nbsp; But the estimated magnitudes imply that Great Recession and high unemployment in the 2000s can account for only a modest part of the rise in alternative work.\&nbsp; Secular factors associated with rising inequality and technological changes making it easier to contract out work appear to be the driving forces.
