The Stalled Economy: Why Jobs Exist but Career Mobility Has Slowed in the U.S. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798279436477)

The Stalled Economy explores the hidden crisis in the U.S. labor market-a market that appears stable on the surface but is increasingly stagnant beneath. Despite moderate unemployment rates and steady economic growth, workers face slow hiring, limited mobility, underemployment, and uneven wage growth. Employers, meanwhile, hesitate to expand payrolls amid uncertainty and technological disruption.This book provides a comprehensive examination of the forces keeping the American labor market "stuck," from demographic shifts and immigration constraints to sectoral disparities, technological change, and structural inefficiencies. It also highlights the human cost: stress, delayed careers, and widening inequality.
Through careful analysis and professional insight, Stuck in Place uncovers why traditional policy tools often fall short and identifies potential solutions to restore opportunity, mobility, and growth. Essential for workers, business leaders, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the complexities of today's employment landscape, this book offers both clarity and a roadmap for navigating-and transforming-a labor market in need of reinvigoration.
