Hard at Work - Job Quality, Wellbeing, and the Global Economy

Hard at Work presents a new, up-to-date account of job quality to understand the immense variety and range of jobs, as well as the evolution of these jobs in recent years. Drawing on various fields and new data sources, Francis Green also constructs a unified and interdisciplinary conceptual framework that illustrates the impacts of job quality on our health and wellbeing. Green then turns to various issues that impact workers--the failure to improve job quality and workers'' wellbeing at work despite long-term economic progress, the declining share of labor income, the general increase in work demands, and the prospects for job quality in the new automated world of work.
