Recommendation

This informative video barrages viewers with a long chain of figures and statistics, which reveal the crux of how the US workforce has shifted over the past several years. Journalists Michael Moynihan, Adam Davidson, Megan McArdle and Jamelle Bouie examine and discuss some major trends that have struck the US workforce. For the most part, it seems the US labor market is facing a period of doom and gloom. getAbstract recommends this discussion to millennials interested in understanding the phenomena that will determine their career prospects.

Take-Aways

  • The American workforce is more diverse but more at-risk than ever before. In recent years, union memberships have fallen, while temporary employees have increased.
  • Millennials account for one-third of the entire US labor force, but they can expect a radically different work environment from that which previous generations experienced.
  • A college education no longer guarantees graduates access to the middle class, but it increases their chances.
