The Future of Employment, Wages, and Technological Change
The United States and other advanced economies enjoyed a remarkable period of sustained growth and broadly‐shared prosperity from the late 1940s to the early 1970s. After a series of crises from the mid‐1970s to mid‐1980s the character of jobs and the structure of earnings changed markedly but the causes continue to be debated. Most workers' inflation‐adjusted wages have stagnated since the early 1980s, employment security has fallen, and inequal…

Putting Tasks to the Test
Using original, representative survey data, we document that analytical, routine, and manual job tasks can be measured with high validity, vary substantially within and between occupations, are significantly related to workers’ characteristics, and are robustly predictive of wage differences between occupations and among workers in the same occupation. We offer a conceptual framework that makes explicit the causal links between human capital endo…
Downsizing in America
Trends in Perceived Job Quality, 1989 to 1998
There is significant controversy over recent trends in the material and intrinsic quality of jobs. Neo-Fordist theories argue that material conditions such as pay, job security, promotion opportunities, and effort requirements have deteriorated for most of the workforce. Post-Fordist theories argue that new work systems are raising levels of intrinsic rewards such as job challenge, autonomy, and cooperation and are also offering higher wages. Thi…
Education and the Economy Revisited
A Nation at Risk (NAR; National Commission on Excellence in Education, 1983) had a tremendous impact on what schools do and has since spawned other reforms that attest to the report's ongoing influence. Coming in the wake of a decade of economic stagnation and import pressures from overseas producers, the authors of NAR blamed these problems on schools. In this article, we show that there was little justification for this conclusion, then or now.…

Skills Mismatch in the Labor Market
Researchers across a wide range of fields, policy makers, and large segments of the public believe that the work-related skills of the labor force do not match the requirements of jobs and that this explains a large part of the growth of wage inequality in the United States in the past 20 years. Opinions are divided on whether the trend is driven by workforce developments, such as an absolute decline or declining growth of human capital due to ch…
