The Future of Low Paid Work in Europe and the US

Ken Mayhew

Chapter 4 in Beyond Skill, 2010, pp 58-78 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In 2003 the New York-based Russell Sage Foundation published Low Wage America. This book explored the position of workers at the low end of the US labour market. It was concerned not just with relative pay but also with other monetary and non-monetary rewards and with working conditions more generally as well as with prospects for escaping into better jobs. A fairly grim picture emerged and one which appeared to have worsened over time.
