the good jobs plan
DESCRIPTION
This report argues that the government must adopt a long-term industrial strategy to achieve its goals in other policy areas. It proposes that industrial policy should be designed to produce not just jobs but good jobs, which means jobs that help us deal with the systemic problems just referred to and reach three overarching goals: well-being, environmental sustainability and social justice.TRANSCRIPT
