Why have wages in those jobs requiring extra-high cognitive skills risen while all other wages have stagnated or fallen? And why are more university graduates taking high-school jobs? The authors of this volume present data revealing that jobs which require a high educational level are increasing more slowly than those with somewhat lower requirements. However such jobs are increasing faster than those requiring still less formal education. Professors Pryor and Schaffer also show how women are replacing men in jobs which require higher levels of education and, moreover, how those with high cognitive skills are replacing those with lower cognitive skills. 517 3 $aWho's Not Working & Why 606 $aLabor market$zUnited States 606 $aSkilled labor$xSupply and demand$zUnited States 606 $aLife skills$zUnited States 606 $aCognitive learning$zUnited States 606 $aWages$zUnited States 608 $aStatistics.$2lcgft 615 0$aLabor market 615 0$aSkilled labor$xSupply and demand 615 0$aLife skills 615 0$aCognitive learning 615 0$aWages 676 $a331.12/0973 700 $aPryor$b Frederic L.$0120130 702 $aSchaffer$b David L.$f1958- 712 02$aUnited States.$bBureau of Labor Statistics. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910693595803321 996 $aWho's not working and why$93156053 997 $aUNINA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
