Even
as the economy has cooled, pressure to address problems with U.S. labor
markets continues. In many businesses, for instance, many people are
approaching retirement. Where will new employees to replace them come
from? Meanwhile, more people in low-income neighborhoods are out of
work or underemployed and will not be able to rely on the reformed
welfare system for income. Where will their livelihoods come from? Changing Labor Markets describes a systems reform response to these
challenges. It offers a dual-customer approach: the objective is to
change the labor market system so that low-income people find and hold
good-paying jobs and employers efficiently find qualified workers to
fill vacant jobs.
