Description: In this Wolff Responds, Prof. Wolff explains what is really happening with the current job market. The US is in the midst of a bitter clash between the employer class and the employees, one that is creating more divisiveness than ever before. It is NOT, Wolff contends, an issue of labor shortages. Employers are desperately trying to recuperate lost profits by reducing the labor force, lowering wages and cutting corners any way they can at the expense of the workers.
