The expanding middle : some Canadian evidence on the deskilling debate / by John Myles. : CS11-0019/9E-PDF

"This study addresses recent debates over trends in class structure that have emerged from the deskilling debate. The general conclusion I draw form an analysis of both censur and survey data is that actual patterns and trends in the skill distribution of jobs are more complex than either the "deskilling" or "upgrading" theses would indicate. During the sixties and seventies the skill content of the labour force grew at an accelerating rate as a result of the expansion of "new middle class/ professional, technical and managerial occupations. Patterns within working class occupations are more ambiguous: estimates based on the census distribution of occupations ranked by skill indicate a monotonic pattern of upgrading while survey results for the early eighties suggest a split or dual labour market for job skills."--Abstract.
