Louis Uchitelle, economics writer for the New York Times and author of the newly released The Disposable American: Layoffs and Their Consequences (Random House, March 2006), will present his findings at this AEI event. Mr. Uchitelle will discuss trends in job security, including his comparison of the current employment climate to the “golden age” of job security of the 1950s; the efficacy of policies, such as job training, which are targeted toward disconnected workers; and possible policy alternatives that may be more effective at increasing job security. Steven J. Davis of AEI and the University of Chicago and former Congressional Budget Office director Douglas Holtz-Eakin of the Council on Foreign Relations will respond.
