With the federal COVID-19 unemployment relief ending, and the paradox of high rates of unemployment coupled with millions of unfilled jobs, we’re joined by Quan Mai, Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at Rutgers, to discuss the state of work in the US and across the globe. Join us as we discuss good jobs, bad jobs, and precarious-gig work. We chat about how the job market evolved historically and politically and the implications of precarious work for social inequality, adult transitions, and health.
