Good on PaperThe Coming Labor Shortage Is Not Good NewsDoes an aging workforce mean greater worker power?One of the takeaways from pro-worker advocates during the pandemic financial crisis was that employees saw fantastic gain. As demand for workers skyrocketed, employees got to be choosy. What bosses called “The Great Resignation” was actually workers having the power to demand better wages and working conditions, as well as the willingness to quit jobs that wouldn’t offer those things.But economist Adam Ozimek warns that people may be taking the wrong lesson about tight labor markets, and that the coming labor shortage isn’t cause for cele...

For Dr. Adam Ozimek, formerly of Moody’s Analytics and now Chief Economist at the Economic Innovation Group, a bipartisan public policy group in Washington D.C. working toward a more dynamic and inclusive economy, not only is immigration economic development itself, but immigration policy is al...

Zukunft zum ZuhörenFOLGE 23: Schöne neue Arbeitswelt - aber wie sieht nachhaltiges Arbeiten tatsächlich aus?
Die schöne neue Arbeitswelt gebiert alle drei bis vier Jahre neue Hypes und Heilslehren. New Work kommt mit einer Ratgeber- und Beratungsindustrie im Schlepptau daher. Aber wem hilft das tatsächlich? Mirja, Klaus und Eike schlagen deshalb einen Perspektivwechsel vor: Wie würde denn eine wirklich nachhaltige Arbeitswelt aussehen? Hierbei müsste zunächst geklärt werden, wie männliche und weibliche Arbeitsstile und Karrieremuster besser in Einklang gebracht werden können. Nach wie vor sind es fast ausschließlich Frauen, die fragmentierte Erwerbskarrieren in Kauf nehmen. Eine Floskel wie "Flexibilisierung" sollte deshalb endlich vom Kopf auf die Füße gest...

The Ezra Klein ShowThe Office is Dying. It’s Time to Rethink How We Work.Over the past year, many places have returned to something approximating a prepandemic normal. Restaurants are filling up again. Airports and hotels are packed. Even movie theaters have made a comeback. But that hasn’t been the case for the office. Only about a third of office workers are back in the office full time. And that isn’t likely to change dramatically any time soon: Recent surveys asked executives about the share of their workers who would be back in the office five days a week in the future. In 2021 the response was 50 percent; now it’s down to 20...
