it is but like, so much of it is just temporary. they take people on via job agencies and it can take years to get a full contract. during that time you're agency they just let people go and hire new ones all the time to not give them full benefits after 3 months, or the council needs to make cuts so you just get sacked outright. I've worked for 3 different councils so far
fire and rehire is very common these days, but that aside there really are just not enough stable long term jobs yeah. and what there is is shitty zero hours contracts, 'self employed' work like uber, or jobs where they treat you like shit until you quit but they always have more people coming in due to the lack of jobs

perpetually never knowing how much work you're going to get despite being ""employed"" is just evil
