In brief... Is technology to blame for jobless recoveries?

Georg Graetz and Guy Michaels

CentrePiece - The magazine for economic performance from Centre for Economic Performance, LSE

Abstract: Since the early 1990s, the United States has been plagued by weak employment growth when emerging from recessions - so-called 'jobless recoveries'. Georg Graetz and Guy Michaels look at multiple recoveries elsewhere in the world over a 40-year period to see if the same applies - and whether modern technology is responsible.
