Abstract
Job polarization refers to the shrinking share of employment in middle-skill, routine occupations experienced over the past 35 years.

First, essentially all employment loss in routine occupations occurs in economic downturns. Second, jobless recoveries in the aggregate can be accounted for by jobless recoveries in the routine occupations that are disappearing.
