strongest agreement that they would accept temporary work rather than be unemployed, with workers in Ireland and the United States displaying the highest level of agreement of all countries. Overall, 72% of workers in liberal regimes agree that they would take a temporary job to avert a spell of unemployment. Conservative regimes follow closely in their willingness to accept temp work, with an average 69% of workers agreeing that they would take temporary work over unemployment. Workers in social democratic regimes show less willingness than workers in liberal or conservative regimes to accept temporary employment. Sixty-three percent of workers in social democratic regimes agree that they would take temporary work to avoid unemployment. Slightly more than half of workers in Mediterranean and post-communist regimes agree that, to avoid unemployment, they would take a temporary job. Workers in productivist regimes evidence, by far, the lowest levels of agreeableness to temporary work. Table 2.
