The secondary labor market refers to jobs that typically offer lower wages, less job security, and fewer benefits compared to those in the primary labor market. These positions often include part-time work, temporary jobs, and roles in industries like retail and hospitality. Workers in this market may face unstable employment and limited opportunities for advancement. Many individuals in the secondary labor market are often marginalized, including younger workers, immigrants, and those with lower levels of education. This market can serve as a stepping stone for some, but it often lacks the stability and growth potential found in the primary labor market.
