Abstract
The precarious nature of work in the United States and the decline of American unions have been the focus of a great deal of both academic and non-academic attention in recent years. There are compelling reasons for this as workers grapple with ever-widening wage disparities between rich and poor, longer hours for lower wages, and unions which represent a historically smaller percentage of the workforce. My reading of the books discussed here coincided with a short trip to the Florida panhandle, a sojourn which quickly reinforced the reality of working in contemporary America. Northern Florida is a geographically attractive part of North America which is also located deep within the mostly non-union South. Florida – famous for tourism, beaches and theme parks – is, like many states, dependent upon a steady supply of lowreview essay / note critique

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
