Book Synopsis Good Jobs, Bad Jobs by : Arne L. Kalleberg
Download or read book Good Jobs, Bad Jobs written by Arne L. Kalleberg and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic boom of the 1990s veiled a grim reality: in addition to the growing gap between rich and poor, the gap between good and bad quality jobs was also expanding. The postwar prosperity of the mid-twentieth century had enabled millions of American workers to join the middle class, but as author Arne L. Kalleberg shows, by the 1970s this upward movement had slowed, in part due to the steady disappearance of secure, well-paying industrial jobs. Ever since, precarious employment has been on the rise—paying low wages, offering few benefits, and with virtually no long-term security. Today, the polarization between workers with higher skill levels and those with low skills and low wages is more entrenched than ever. Good Jobs, Bad Jobs traces this trend to large-scale transformations in the American labor market and the changing demographics of low-wage workers. Kalleberg draws on nearly four decades of survey data, as well as his own research, to evaluate trends in U.S. job quality and suggest ways to improve American labor market practices and social policies. Good Jobs, Bad Jobs provides an insightful analysis of how and why precarious employment is gaining ground in the labor market and the role these developments have played in the decline of the middle class. Kalleberg shows that by the 1970s, government deregulation, global competition, and the rise of the service sector gained traction, while institutional protections for workers—such as unions and minimum-wage legislation—weakened. Together, these forces marked the end of postwar security for American workers. The composition of the labor force also changed significantly; the number of dual-earner families increased, as did the share of the workforce comprised of women, non-white, and immigrant workers. Of these groups, blacks, Latinos, and immigrants remain concentrated in the most precarious and low-quality jobs, with educational attainment being the leading indicator of who will earn the highest wages and experience the most job security and highest levels of autonomy and control over their jobs and schedules. Kalleberg demonstrates, however, that building a better safety net—increasing government responsibility for worker health care and retirement, as well as strengthening unions—can go a long way toward redressing the effects of today’s volatile labor market. There is every reason to expect that the growth of precarious jobs—which already make up a significant share of the American job market—will continue. Good Jobs, Bad Jobs deftly shows that the decline in U.S. job quality is not the result of fluctuations in the business cycle, but rather the result of economic restructuring and the disappearance of institutional protections for workers. Only government, employers and labor working together on long-term strategies—including an expanded safety net, strengthened legal protections, and better training opportunities—can help reverse this trend. A Volume in the American Sociological Association’s Rose Series in Sociology.

Book Synopsis Handbook of Employment Discrimination Research by : Laura Beth Nielsen
Download or read book Handbook of Employment Discrimination Research written by Laura Beth Nielsen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-10-18 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is still much to learn about fundamental aspects of employment discrimination law as a social system. What drives the growing demand for litigation? To what extent does discrimination persist in subtle but pervasive forms and what explains how it varies by organizational and market context? How do different groups of workers perceive the extent to which they are discriminated against and what, if anything, do they do about it? How have employers responded to discrimination law? How is employment discrimination law affected by broader political and legal currents? What is the relationship between anti-discrimination law and patterns of social inequality?The chapters in this unique collection grapple with many of these issues. Questions of this scope require interdisciplinary scholarship; and this volume includes original contributions from many of the legal scholars, economists, psychologists, sociologists, political scientists, and historians who are at the forefront of new research on discrimination and law. The Handbook of Employment Discrimination Research encompasses critical discussions across different social science disciplines, as well as between legal scholars and social scientists. As a collection, the chapters suggest a broad reconsideration of employment discrimination and its treatment in law.

Book excerpt: The most significant domestic issue of the 2004 elections is unemployment. The United States has lost nearly three million jobs in the last ten years, and real employment hovers around 9.1 percent. Only one political analyst foresaw the dark side of the technological revolution and understood its implications for global employment: Jeremy Rifkin. The End of Workis Jeremy Rifkin's most influential and important book. Now nearly ten years old, it has been updated for a new, post-New Economy era. Statistics and figures have been revised to take new trends into account. Rifkin offers a tough, compelling critique of the flaws in the techniques the government uses to compile employment statistics. The End of Workis the book our candidates and our country need to understand the employment challenges-and the hopes-facing us in the century ahead.

Book Synopsis National Minimum Wage by : Low Pay Commission
Download or read book National Minimum Wage written by Low Pay Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report the Low Pay Commission has continued to take a cautious approach to the National Minimum Wage (NMW) during the economic downturn, so as avoid jeopardising the gains that the wage has brought to the lowest paid and because of the pressures on businesses, particularly small businesses. The recommendations, to take effect from 1 October 2013, include: that the adult rate of the National Minimum Wage be increased by 1.9 per cent or 12 pence to £6.31 an hour; the Youth Development Rate to increase by 1 per cent or 5 pence to £5.03 an hour; the 16-17 Year old rate to increase by 1 per cent or 4 pence to £3.72 an hour. The Apprentice rate is to remain unchanged at £2.65 an hour: given evidence that 30-40 per cent of 16-17 year old apprentices are paid below the recommended rate, the Commission sees no point in raising the legal floor if it is not observed. The Commission also recommends that the accommodation offset be increased by 9 pence to £4.91 a day. The report contains five chapters and six appendices. Chapters cover: the economic context to the October 2012 rates; the impact of the minimum wage; young people and apprentices; compliance and operation of the National Minimum Wage; the rates for 2013.
