In their groundbreaking new book MOVING THE NEEDLE: What Tight Labor Markets Do for the Poor, Katherine S. Newman and Elisabeth S. Jacobs explore what happens when jobs are plentiful and workers are hard to come by, showing how very low unemployment boosts wages at the bottom, improves benefits, lengthens job ladders, and pulls the unemployed into a booming job market.From This EpisodeMOVING THE NEEDLE: What Tight Labor Markets Do for the PoorABOUT THE AUTHORSKatherine Newman is a sociologist and academic leader who has worked at UC Berkeley, Columbia, Harvard, Princeton, Johns Hopkins and the University of Massachusetts.
