New research by @am_kowalski @cornellilr and coauthors shows that #job quality and #worker well-being are lower in #warehouses engaged in #ecommerce and are most pronounced at #Amazon’s warehouses, which emphasize speedy delivery.

How does #intersectional organizing work? Drawing on interviews with @SBWorkersUnited, Johnnie Kallas @UofIllinois finds that #workers leveraged management’s virtue signaling, #progressive brand image and their lived experiences to access rights.

Why do we see gendered differences in reservation #wages? Gokce Basbug @DUBusSchool and Roberto M. Fernandez @MITSloan show that #women and #men search for different #occupations, with women opting for jobs with less working hours.

What does it take to ensure #minimum #wage compliance from the #employers? New research by @annastansbury @MIT_IWER @MITSloan shows that improved #enforcement and expected #penalties both matter for firms to comply.

#Employers prioritize specific types of #work #visa applications. Ben Rissing @cornellilr and Laura Carver @UCBerkeley show how #immigrant human capital, employers’ past filing experience, and its relative dissimilarity to the present one matter.

A new study of the 2019 @UAW #GM #strike by Maite Tapia @michiganstateu and coauthors shows how member satisfaction, local context, and even “invisible divides” like transfer worker shares can shape whether #workers back #leadership’s #strategy.

Fascinating study by Ilpo Kauppinen @VATT_research and Panu Poutvaara @TU_Muenchen on who leaves #Finland. #Emigrants are higher #educated, higher #earning and in top #jobs. #Swedish speaking Finns are far more likely to head to other #Nordic countries.

#Mexican #Americans were often recorded as “#white” in the 1930 Census, masking their true numbers and socioeconomic progress. New research by Brian Duncan @CUDenver and Stephen Trejo @UTAustin shows how different local environments supported integration.

Turns out the 4‑day #workweek isn’t a fringe experiment, say Daniel Hamermesh @UTAustin and Jeff Biddle @NotreDame. It has tripled since 1973, adding 7M #US workers. #Workers’ preferences, not #industry changes, are reshaping the week.

It's a great book and I was glad to review it!! Congrats to the whole team of authors.

@davidautor @MIT and coauthors show that #immigration played only a small role in helping #US regions adjust to #China shock in #manufacturing. Immigrants were not positioned in the #industries that collapsed, so their #mobility offered limited relief. https://t.co/NsYAugf6XD...

The 2021–24 #union uptick was not a mystery. #Young #workers led it. @_ericblanc @RU_SMLR shows how #organizing youth‑heavy industries, bottom‑up #campaigns, #digital tools, militant #minority #leadership, and the spread of worker‑to‑worker action helped.

🆕Read Lucia Amorosi's @scuolanormale review of @xEmmaAmador's @UConn new book @DukePress that spotlights #PuertoRican #women whose #socialwork #activism reshaped struggles for #justice. Vivid #biographies make this #history feel urgent today.

🚨Just out:
Mario Bossler and Martin Popp find that higher #labor #market tightness reduced #employment by 5%, weakened #wage responsiveness and pushed #hiring costs up in #Germany.
Big implications for how we think about labor demand.

How does the #EU’s triadic brokering system shape the lives of mobile #care #workers? Kamil Matuszczyk @UniWarszawski and coauthors use the case of #Polish #caregivers in #Germany to show that the more hours they #work, the less they #earn.

New research by Garrett Anstreicher @UNLincoln and Lois Miller @UoSC shows that the biggest long‑term losses during the #greatrecession were concentrated among #grads from good #colleges, a reminder that even elite pathways aren’t recession proof.
