1. Meager (1986) showed that in 1984 such employment strategies were widely applied in relation to personal service, office and manual workers and to some extent to the recruitment of managerial, technical and professional staff.
2. He augmented his meager income by plying for hire as a ferryman, ferrying passengers across to Greenwich, and sometimes he followed a more grisly trade.
3. They also provide some support for the thesis proposed by earlier studies of temporary workers (particularly Meager, 1985), where it has been argued that there is a strong association between growing organisations and users of temporary labour.
4. Previous studies of employers' use of temporary workers, both in this country (Meager, 1985) and in the United States (Magnum/Mayall/Nelson, 1986), have indicated that its likelihood increases with the size of the organisation.
5. Both Meager and LRD based their claims on surveys asking employers/local union officials how many temporary workers they employed/were employed now and one or two years previously.
6. It is freer from selectivity bias than the recent survey conducted by the IMS (Meager, 1985) and, by covering a large number of employers/establishments, permits more detailed analysis.

10. Leonard Meager q.v., in The English Gardener (1670), printed "a Catalogue of divers sorts of Fruit, which I had of my very Loving friend Captain Garrle", containing over 300 varieties, many of them from France.
11. Martin (1984) and Meager (1984) both pointed out that, when considered as a proportion of gross as opposed to net job loss, redundancy was not the dominant process.
12. The claims of those commentators (for example Meager, 1985; LRD, 1987) who suggest there has been a growth in temporary working in recent years are given no support whatsoever by these results.
