Question

Mary works for a temporary employment agency as a clerical assistant. she earns minimum wage and the temporary agency will offer medical benefits when she works full-time for six consecutive months, which is difficult due to the intermittent nature of temporary work. mary works in a
a. male-dominated position.
b. white-collar occupation.
c. dead-end job.
d. pink-collar occupation.

Answer 1

Given the description, Mary appears to work in c, a dead-end job, because she cannot achieve the goal of medical benefits given the near impossibility of meeting the full-time employment requirement to earn the benefit. Full-time for such a long period seems to be a policy written, perhaps, to avoid the employment agency's obligation to provide medical coverage.
