&gt; it&#x27;s not obvious to me how to fix it - if someone&#x27;s working for six different employers, what responsibilities do each have?<p>Single payer health care would handle the biggest issue, because it would make the employer not also be in charge of paying for your health care.<p>Get rid of 401(k) and push it back into Social Security, to disassociate the company from retirement savings.<p>Then someone with 5 jobs @ 8 hours&#x2F;week will have roughly the same benefits as someone with 1 job @ 40 hours&#x2F;week. The major exception will be vacation time and sick leave. I have no good sense of the problems there, much less solutions.<p>&gt; How do we make sure someone fired from five of their six jobs receives unemployment, without giving it to someone in full-time employment who gets fired from their minor side gig?<p>Is that really an issue? How does that happen now?<p>I presume the government tracks the employment tax payments, which are paid monthly or semi-weekly. These are linked to your SSN, which you used to file for unemployment. So it shouldn&#x27;t be that hard to identify frauds.
