New research by Carlotta Rigotti and coauthors examines the #EU’s #AI Act and shows how risk‑based rules and #rights impact assessments. They also demonstrate how real #stakeholder involvement can turn #compliance into true #accountability.

The 2021–24 #union uptick was led by #young #workers. @ericblanc.bsky.social @rutgersuniversity.bsky.social shows how #organizing youth‑heavy industries, bottom‑up #campaigns, #digital tools, militant #minority #leadership, and the spread of worker‑to‑worker action helped.

Mario Bossler and Martin Popp find that higher #labor #market tightness reduced #employment by 5%, weakened #wage responsiveness and pushed #hiring costs up in #Germany.

Big implications for how we think about labor demand.

How does the #EU’s triadic brokering system shape the lives of mobile #care #workers? Kamil Matuszczyk and coauthors use the case of #Polish #caregivers in #Germany to show that the more hours they #work, the less they #earn.
doi.org/10.1177/0019...

New research by Garrett Anstreicher #UNLincoln and Lois Miller #UoSC shows that the biggest long‑term losses during the #greatrecession were concentrated among #grads from good #colleges, a reminder that even elite pathways aren’t recession proof.

Revisiting the Hamermesh, Genadek, and Burda study (2021), William A. Darity, Jr. @duke-university.bsky.social and coauthors' rejoinder to their original critique defend the decomposition tools that show how time‑use differences do not drive #racial #earnings gaps .

🚨Out now!
@mattbeane.bsky.social @ucsantabarbara.bsky.social shows how centuries of human skill‑building shape what AI can (and can’t) do for us in his new book @harpercollins.bsky.social. A sharp timely take on the future of work.

For anyone invested in building humane, empowering #workplaces, this book is a call to design technology that strengthens #worker #agency and #wellbeing.

Read Stefan Ivanovski's @cornellilr.bsky.social review of @behrend.bsky.social new book that conveys a refreshingly pragmatic message to let #AI handle the speed and scale, and let people do what only people can.
doi-org.proxy.library.cornell.edu/10.1177/0019...

But the real story is the gap between how much #workers value remote flexibility and how costly employers believe it is — and those numbers are far apart.
doi-org.proxy.library.cornell.edu/10.1177/0019...

This study on remote #work is such a fascinating little reality check. After surveying over 10,000 workers and 1,500 employers in Poland, Piotr Lewandowski, Katarzyna Lipowska and Mateusz Smoter, all from from Institute for Structural Research, find that #hybrid beats fully #remote.
