As we approach this Labor Day, the Pennsylvania economy is growing steadily.

Kalleberg, Arne L. – Russell Sage Foundation, 2013
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…

Lin, Ming-Jen – Journal of Human Resources, 2008
OLS may understate the effect of unemployment on crime because of the endogeneity problem (Raphael and Winter-Ember 2001).

We find a one-percentage-point…

The nature of the American academic workforce has fundamentally shifted over the past several decades.

Burniaux, Jean-Marc; Padrini, Flavio; Brandt, Nicola – OECD Publishing (NJ1), 2006
There have been concerns that employment-enhancing reforms along the lines of the 1994 OECD Jobs Strategy could inadvertently lead to increased income inequality and poverty. This paper focuses on the impact of institutions and redistributive policies on inequality and poverty with the view of assessing whether a trade-off between better labour…
