More about the book

The book examines the troubling rise of precarious employment in the U.S., highlighting the widening gap between quality jobs and low-wage, insecure positions since the 1970s. It attributes this shift to factors such as government deregulation, global competition, and demographic changes in the workforce. Through extensive research, the author argues that educational attainment is crucial for job security and wages. Kalleberg advocates for a stronger safety net, enhanced legal protections, and improved worker training as essential steps to address these issues and restore job quality.
