Chicago-area workers face temp jobs at poverty wages, new U of I Chicago study shows
A new report by a research group at the University of Illinois at Chicago found that 63% of warehouse workers in the southwest suburbs of Chicago were temps making poverty-level wages.
Workers from over 150 different warehouses were surveyed for the study Bad Jobs in Goods Movement: Warehouse Work in Will County, which found low wages, few benefits and high rates of injuries and discrimination.
