Polarization of the Labor Market
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Labor market polarization is a growing gap between low-end and high-end jobs, with employment opportunities shrinking for people with mid-level skills.
Show
Outsourcing and automation together eliminate mid-skill manufacturing and clerical roles while demand grows at both the low-wage and highly credentialed ends.
Watch for
Polarization describes where jobs are growing and shrinking; it is not itself a claim about which workers deserve which outcome.
