This is a fancy way of saying that we are seeing growth in high- and low-wage jobs, but a decline in middle-wage work. By any definition, the U.S. still has a large mid- dle class, but three decades is a long time to be in decline, and there is no evidence that this trend is about to turn around. There is growing concern about this Michael phenomenon, and much of the COVID relief and infrastructure proposals hold Hicks policies designed to bolster middle-wage jobs. Unfortu- nately, there’s little reason to hope that short-term Hoosier spending policies will have much long-term effect on Opinions this trend. The reason for this is that the root cause of these problems is not likely to respond to direct subsidies or stimulus. Over the short run, say a few months or even a few years, an economy can experience too few jobs of one sort or another. For example, during COVID the declining demand for restaurants, hotels and recreation caused a big decline in low-wage work. During the financial crisis, there was a big decline in higher-wage financial services. Still, over the long term, the mix of jobs and salaries are almost The key to vaccine and return wholly caused by the mix of workers and skills in a region.
