Amidst the economic precarity exacerbated by neoliberal policies of the 20th century, Jamaican women look beyond the island's shores to find financial stability. Beyond this, these women embrace the move to indulge in a creative process of self-growth and development. Drawing on fieldwork and interviews with Black Jamaican women employed as English-language instructors in Japan, this article focuses on the mechanisms that set the stage for South-East migratory circuits from the Caribbean to Asia. In this practice of transcontinental “gig work,” Black Jamaican women navigate racialized and gendered regimes of value to access markets for their linguistic expertise as native speakers of English. Intervening in scholarship on seasonal migrant labor and neoliberal precarity, I discuss the ways that migration functions as an option for economic stability in a landscape of scarce employment. To this end, I incorporate Bianca Williams' study of Black American women who travel to find happiness in Jamaica and Jonathan Rosa's work on raciolinguistics to address the ways Jamaican women experience and observe language, race, and ethnic categorization in Japan. From this discussion, Japan emerges as a site of discovery, encounter, and struggle in contemporary gig economies. Here, women question their larger life goals, stake claims to a more fulfilling work-life experience, and negotiate different versions of themselves.</p>","PeriodicalId":43035,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology of Work Review","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/awr.70020","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148068533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

But transit is in trouble. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and decades of disinvestment, bus operators face mounting time pressure, frequent violence, and eroding job security. They are framed as inefficient, a narrative used to justify weakening their labor protections and degrading dignity on the job. We highlight the on-the-ground effects of this racialized devaluation through first-hand accounts from bus operators across the U.S. and Canada. Their embodied critique of the current crisis makes visible the harms of neoliberal transformations, including emerging technological change. A driverless future is being advanced, one that would further degrade bus operators' dignity and devalue their labor. We introduce the concept of <i>neoliberal automation</i> to describe this trajectory and describe how it is being contested. Transit workers are rejecting automation framed by austerity and displacement, offering instead visions of a labor future centered on dignity, safety, and democratic control over technological change.</p>","PeriodicalId":43035,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology of Work Review","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/awr.70018","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147683447","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on ethnographic research in Laos and Thailand, we argue that despite differing socioeconomic backgrounds, both groups share strikingly similar aspirations for autonomy and self-reliance through online work. This challenges existing theories that emphasize the local context of aspirations, suggesting that global connections and neoliberal values increasingly shape desires for a “good life” centered on digital labor. We analyze how these aspirations are formed through encounters with digital technologies, online communities, and global narratives of success, highlighting the role of the internet as both a source of inspiration and a means of achieving these goals. By examining these convergent aspirations, we advance the understanding of how global connections influence the formation and expression of aspiration in the digital age. These findings highlight the importance of exploring the complex interplay between individual aspirations, global connections, and evolving notions of digital work.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":43035,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology of Work Review","volume":"46 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145501044","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
