Secondary labor market

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The secondary labor market is the labor

service sector, light manufacturing, and retail jobs are considered secondary labor.[1]

Secondary market jobs are sometimes referred to as “food and filth” jobs, a reference to workers in fast food, retail, or yard work, for example.[2]

A secondary-market job is distinct from a "secondary worker". The latter term refers to someone in a family (traditionally, the wife or a child) who earns a smaller income than the "breadwinner" in order to supplement family income.
