Look at who the authors are. It is a political document. It is true that it has created more turmoil in the labor market but how bad can it be when unemployment is so low? There was an interesting article this weekend, I believe in the New York Times, that showed the strength of the employment market was even beginning to draw on what had been the most intractable unemployment problem, young black males without a high school degree. This 'new economy' however presents a real problem for unions. Unions operate best in long term stable industries with a real management/worker division. In such an environment they can establish a long term role as a worker's intermediary. In a rapidly evolving workplace it is more difficult for an essentially bureaucratic entity such as a union to establish itself as an intermediary.

Equality yes low employment figures i wonder why? That report is one of the best motivators to use when children (of all ages), want to "leave school and get just any job, without the proper education". Indeed, the starting line says it all.... Put aside the wonders of the Internet and the overnight stock-option fortunes of high-tech entrepreneurs: Why would anyone try to get a job anywhere else ? <g> ....a liberal research organization, it provides the statistical background for a broad new legislative push for an expanded safety net of programs* for middle class and low income workers.* Sam.... there is the answer to your earlier question: What rough beast lies waiting in the wings? The politicians, the bureaucrats.... and well, the collectivists.
