Worker Risks: "People
who are unemployed stay unemployed, on average, about fifty
per cent longer now than they did in the seventies, and only about
half as many receive unemployment insurance as did so in 1947.
Furthermore, the explosion in health-care
costs means that the consequences of forfeiting company health
insurance are graver
than ever. So even though incomes have risen over the past three
decades, they fluctuate much more than they once did. Economists
estimate that income volatility is about twice what it was in
the early seventies.
Some of these changes make good business sense.
But cumulatively they add up to what Jacob Hacker, a political
scientist at Yale, calls “the great risk shift.” ...
workers are not being compensated with higher wages for taking
on all this new risk. Real wages for the eighty per cent of Americans
whom the government labels “production and
nonsupervisory workers” have actually fallen since 2001,
and, even after a burst of growth in the late nineties, the average
household income is only slightly above where it was in 1973."
