Part-time, temporary, and contract workers who are available for hire on an as-needed basis are known as ________
A) consultants
B) core employees
C) summer employees
D) a contingent workforce
Answer: D
Explanation: The contingent workforce is the segment of the workforce that is not permanent. Contingent workers may work full time, but they are hired only on a provisional basis and will likely leave when their task is complete. A consultant is a high-level contingent worker, but the contingent workforce contains other workers besides consultants, so "consultants" is not the correct response. Similarly, "summer employees" is incorrect because the contingent workforce is not comprised only of summer workers. Core employees are permanent workers so "core employees" is incorrect.
