Abstract
Pay, opportunities, and job quality have worsened for most U.S. workers over the past 30 years, across most sectors of the economy. This decline is related to fundamental changes in the economy and society, including sluggish productivity growth and employer assaults on workers' rights and protections. Productivity growth has slowed as companies no longer invest as much in equipment and training. Businesses have attacked workers' protections; unionization is down, and the minimum wage is worth about two-thirds as much as at its high point in the late 1960s. The National Labor Relations Board, other federal agencies, and the courts are stacked with anti-labor appointees. And businesses have pushed more and more risk onto workers, with a growth in temporary work and much reduced work-related benefits.
