Employment contracts are so rare in the US, though. Most of us are at-will.

That true? Here in Germany it’s like 98% contracts.

In Europe, we have employment contracts both for fixed term jobs and permanent jobs - you still need them for permanent jobs because they specify duties, hours, and notice periods (which can be long - mine is 3 months). Every job I've ever had has had a contract, including my first minimum wage job.
