Interesting article in Fortune:

Those who join Remote Stylist, whether they are students or out-of-work 20- or 30-somethings, must agree to a four-month run and sign a hiring contract.

It remembers me the abbreviation in one of the famous film - "Jobless men keep going". Where the collapse of financial system is being discussed. Not too uncommon for many developing economies. Sometimes people find it useful for gaining experience. Loosing time is worst than anything else.
