WORK AND THE OPPORTUNITY IN THE POST-INDUSTRIAL LABOR MARKET

The Institute has recently completed a major project that examines how economic restructuring in the United States has affected the career development and mobility paths of young workers. The project was supported by grants from the Russell Sage and Rockefeller Foundations. A team of investigators headed the project: Dr. Annette Bernhardt (former Senior Research Associate at the Institute), Dr. Martina Morris (Pennsylvania State University), Dr. Mark Handcock (Pennsylvania State University), and Dr. Marc Scott (former Senior Research Associate at the Institute).
