New technologies and alternative work arrangements are transforming the American labor market. Can businesses, workers, and policymakers leverage the ingenuity that created the dynamic 21st-century workplace to improve pathways to upward mobility?
An idea proposal under the Partnership’s jobs strategy, Imagining a Future of Work That Fosters Mobility for All discusses how to transform jobs with low wages, erratic hours, and limited benefits into good jobs. The paper proposes using care work as a case study that could provide insights into how to upgrade jobs across other sectors.
