Job Ladders and Growth in Earnings, Hours, and Wages

Join a U.S. Census Bureau economist and statistician on September 19 as they discuss their research into the recent economic stagnation from the late 1990s through 2015 and its effects. They primarily focus on workers moving onto and up the job ladder and the implications of this movement on hours worked and wages earned. Earnings gains were lowered by previously unemployed hires and increased by those who stayed with their jobs and who changed employers.
