Trimming waste edges so side work can seat
Editorial notes on how published research measures residual week edges and secondary pay—read like shavings from a shoulder plane, not as a schedule for any household.
What the desk reads
Shoulder Plane reviews time-use research, multiple-jobholding modules, and residual-pay notes. Each pass names the instrument and the edge it can trim. The desk does not publish testimonials or sequences aimed at a reader’s week.
Passes on the board
Four readings that stay with the mouth: week edges, side-work fit, platform fees, and survey limits.
-
Pass 01
Trimming waste edges from the week
How time-use and labor research frame week edges that might hold secondary work after the main employment cut.
-
Pass 02
Fitting side work into trimmed shoulders
Multiple-jobholding windows as shoulder fits: what a short reference period can seat about secondary arrangements.
-
Pass 03
Paring platform fees at the mouth
Where platform-mediated pay sits after fees when surveys try to pare residual take-home at the instrument mouth.
-
Pass 04
Survey limits on week edges
Coverage gaps, edit rules, and why two official week measures rarely meet on the same residual edge.
Board rules
- No presupposition about the reader’s pay, hours, or household.
- Named source or no claim. Contested evidence is marked as contested.
- Each note states the edge the instrument can trim—and where the shaving covers the rest.
