Worker Risks: "People who
are unemployed stay unemployed, on average, about fifty per cent
longer now than they did in the seventies, and only about half
as many receive unemployment insurance as did so in 1947. Furthermore,
the explosion in health-care costs means that the consequences
of forfeiting company health insurance are graver than ever. So
even though incomes have risen over the past three decades, they
fluctuate much more than they once did. Economists estimate that
income volatility is about twice what it was in the early seventies.
Some of these changes make good business sense. But cumulatively
they add up to what Jacob Hacker, a political scientist at Yale,
calls “the great risk shift.” ... workers are not
being compensated with higher wages for taking on all this new
risk. Real wages for the eighty per cent of Americans whom the
government labels “production and nonsupervisory workers”
have actually fallen since 2001, and, even after a burst of growth
in the late nineties, the average household income is only slightly
above where it was in 1973." Surowiecki, The
