Duration: 1:10
Description:
Despite recent upticks in the economy, the U.S. and worldwide employment
picture remains bleak. Are we facing a “jobless recovery?” Did
the international economic collapse in 2008-09 alter the labor market
permanently? UC Berkeley scholars answer these questions, explore the
role of international organizations such as the G20 in addressing them,
and offer proposals to prevent protectionism and promote a global
solution. Panelist include: John Quigley (Dept. of Economics), Brad
DeLong (Dept. of Economics), David Card (Dept. of Economics) and Andrew
Rose (Haas School of Business).
