With more and more Americans striving for a college degree, fewer people are competing for traditional blue-collar and low-wage service jobs. Conference Board economists Gad Levanon and Frank Steemers offer an insightful perspective on how this trend is likely to accelerate, as US economic growth continues and employers have to contend with labor shortages for these less prestigious jobs. This illuminating, focused and amply illustrated piece is likely to interest policy experts, economists and human resources professionals.
