State
Labor market polarization is a growing gap between low-end and high-end jobs, with employment opportunities shrinking for people with mid-level skills.
Show
Outsourcing and automation together eliminate mid-skill manufacturing and clerical roles while demand grows at both the low-wage and highly credentialed ends.
Watch for
Polarization describes where jobs are growing and shrinking; it is not itself a claim about which workers deserve which outcome.
