Where Are All the Jobs Going?

The following are comments from some concerned experts on unemployment. Sumner Rosen, retired from Columbia, is active (Vice Chair) with the National Jobs for All Coalition (includes a large number of non-governmental and religious organizations working in this area of concern):

and Stanley Aronowitz, Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the CUNY Graduate Center, has recently done a study( posted to the Student Concerns list) of the shaky situation of U.S. labor in the face of declining jobs and compensation for those that still have jobs (#880, which you can locate by using the Student Concerns Archive search function with Stan's name):

Students concerned about this problem area in their research papers might want to contact either or both or the the Coalition which has recently relocated near the UN from 475 Riverside Drive where it is still listed on some older web sites.

Sumner Rosen's comment:

One dimension of the systemic erosion of labor markets at all levels; among the effects is a steady flow to meet the needs of low-wage employers. "Reform" of social security has among its real objectives to erode retirement benefits and add older workers to this flow. The voluminous discussion of why the Bush proposal must be opposed is silent on this question.
