Moving Up Or Moving On : Who Advances In The Low-wage Labor Market?

Attribution
Fredrik Andersson, Harry J. Holzer, and Julia I. Lane
Publication Details
Book, Russell Sage Foundation, 2005
Description
While changing employers meant losing valuable job tenure and spending more time out of work than those who stayed put, workers who left their jobs in search of better opportunity elsewhere ended up with significantly higher earnings in the long term ? Taken together, these findings suggest that public policy can best serve the working poor by expanding their access to good employers, assisting them with job training and placement, and helping them to prepare for careers that combine both mobility and job retention strategies.

The Working Poor : Invisible In America

Attribution
David K. Shipler

We meet drifting farmworkers in North Carolina, exploited garment workers in New Hampshire, illegal immigrants trapped in the steaming kitchens of Los Angeles restaurants, addicts who struggle into productive work from the cruel streets of the nation?s capital?each life another aspect of a confounding, far-reaching urgent national crisis. And unlike most works on poverty, this one delves into the calculations of some employers as well?their razor-thin profits, their anxieties about competition from abroad, their frustrations in finding qualified workers.
