Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

he term "precarious employment" has become part of the lexicon of academics, the media and a growing number of politicians at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. Almost daily we hear in the media of the frustration of workers unable to find decent paying, permanent employment and having to accept temporary positions with few benefits beyond a wage. This lack of employment stability affects young adults wanting to start their own families, immigrants hoping to start a new life in Canada, parents eager to see their children launch their own careers, and workers displaced from secure jobs and needing to start over. These frustrations are fueling a growing sense of public unease and a sense that something is wrong with a labour market that amply rewards a few, but leaves the majority of Canadians facing growing employment and income insecurity, low wages and uncertain career paths.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
