"Most research on poverty focuses on the damage that persistent unemployment causes
for individuals, families, and neighborhoods. But what happens when jobs are plentiful
and workers are hard to come by? Persistent labor shortages became the norm in 2022,
but there have been a number of periods in American history where tight labor markets
prevailed. Moving the Needle examines what happens when conditions favorable to workers
create market pressures that boost wages at the bottom, improve benefits, pull the
unemployed from the sidelines to the center of a burgeoning job market, lengthen job
ladders, and dampen credentialism. Utilizing 79 years of quantitative and historical
data, as well as fieldwork among employers, jobseekers, and long-time residents of
poor neighborhoods, this book explores how profoundly positive tight labor markets
are for labor and recommends policies that would keep that momentum moving when the
conditions that spur it forward no longer hold"
