Good Jobs America: Making Work Better for Everyone

摘要

In 2011, the Russell Sage Foundation fired off a barrage of works addressing job quality in the United States. These included Harry J. Holzer et al.'s Where Are All the Good Jobs Going? What National and Local Job Quality and Dynamics Mean for U. S. Workers; Arne L. Kalleberg's Good Jobs, Bad Jobs: The Rise of Polarized and Precarious Employment Systems in the United States, 1970s to 2000s and Paul Osterman and Beth Shulman's Good Jobs America. Recognising that the United States has the greatest inequality among nations of the industrialised world, with the richest 400 Americans having more wealth than 185 million US citizens, this foundation has funded studies fighting back against neoliberal conventional wisdom inclined to regard these disparities as largely inevitable in a free society.
