Where Are All the Good Jobs Going? | Russell Sage Foundation


Quotes:

Where Are All the Good Jobs Going? | Russell Sage Foundation

    • good jobs are not disappearing, but their character and location have changed
      • higher federal minimum wage and increased unionization can contribute to the creation of well paying jobs. So can economic strategies that help smaller metropolitan areas support new businesses. These efforts, however, must function in tandem with policies that prepare workers for available positions, such as improving general educational attainment and providing career education.
        • Where Are All the Good Jobs Going? makes clear that future policies will need to address not only how to produce good jobs but how to produce good workers. This cohesive study takes the necessary first steps with a sensible approach to the needs of workers and the firms that hire them
