abstract: 'The promises of D. Trump to return jobs to the American workers put the
|
|
|
|
problems of employment in the focus of his economic policy. After the
|
|
|
|
Trump''s first year in White house the job market feels nice with
|
|
|
|
employment indicators growing and unemployment going down. The Tax Cuts
|
|
|
|
and Jobs Act (2017) makes it more attractive to do business both for the
|
|
|
|
American and foreign firms in the United States; and benefits those
|
|
|
|
American companies that do their business at home. There is little doubt
|
|
|
|
that lowering taxes, limiting regulation can reduce employer''s costs,
|
|
|
|
and stronger economic growth would increase employment opportunities.
|
|
|
|
However, this process cannot stop long run trends of globalization;
|
|
|
|
technological, demographic influence on the labor force participation,
|
|
|
|
jobs polarization. The US economy has long been moving away from mining
|
|
|
|
and manufacturing industries towards service sectors with less median
|
|
|
|
wage and lower access to employer''s benefits, to medical, pension and
|
|
|
|
other programs. The paper focuses on job polarization with rising
|
|
|
|
inequality between different groups of employees. The structure of
|
|
|
|
employment in the US had sharply polarized over the past two decades by
|
|
|
|
qualification, education; with expanding job opportunities, both for
|
|
|
|
high-skill and low-skill occupations and decreasing opportunities for
|
|
|
|
middle-skill workers. Meanwhile the tax cuts and regulation cuts are
|
|
|
|
coming hand in hand with budget cuts for supporting education and
|
|
|
|
training which could weaken the possibilities of low income persons to
|
|
|
|
gain education and skills that the labor market values. So far, current
|
|
|
|
administration''s policy may deliver impulse for more jobs, coming with
|
|
|
|
economic growth, but eventually the social bad political polarization of
|
|
|
|
America may become deeper after Trump''s presidency than before.'
