This is a terrible substitute, since there are a lot of low-paid high-skill jobs (ex, graduate students, TAs).
There's a meaningful labor liquidity difference between a job that takes 2 years of training and 2 days of training, and it's important for policy decisions. Sorry?
- totony 4y agoBut aren't those low-paid, high skill jobs likely to be unionized? Only issue I see with that term is that union affects pay.
- bpodgursky 4y agoI am not trying to argue about the merits of unionization. I am saying that "low-skill" is a meaningful term we should not drop.
