Good jobs/bad jobs and the declining middle: 1967-1986 / by Garnett Picot, John Myles, Ted Wannell.: CS11-0019/28E-PDF

"Concern about the impact of a number of structural changes in the economy on the creation of "good" and "bad"" jobs (i.e., high and low paying) has surfaced in recent years. It has been argued that the shift in employment to the services sector, technological change, the changing demographic composition of the workforce, contracting out and other effects are resulting a polarization of the distribution of wages and earnings; that is, more workers and jobs at the bottom and top of the distributions and fewer in the middle."--Abstract.
