This research program examines the latest dynamics, institutions, and trends shaping employment and earnings, with a focus on policies to achieve full employment and the tendency of modern market economies to fall short of the mark. A cornerstone of this program is research on the job guarantee—a policy that would offer a publicly funded job to all who are willing and able to work.
