| Abstract: | ||||
| "(...) Labor markets in U.S. cities today are vastly more educated and skill-intensive than they were five decades
ago. Yet, urban non-college workers perform substantially less skilled work than decades earlier. This deskilling
reflects the joint effects of automation and international trade, which have eliminated the bulk of non-college
production, administrative support, and clerical jobs, yielding a disproportionate polarization of urban labor markets.
The unwinding of the urban non-college occupational skill gradient has, I argue, abetted a secular fall in real non-
college wages by: (1) shunting non-college workers out of specialized middle-skill occupations into lowwage
occupations that require only generic skills; (2) diminishing the set of non-college workers that hold middle-skill jobs
in high-wage cities; and (3) attenuating, to a startling degree, the steep urban wage premium for non-college
workers that prevailed in earlier decades. Changes in the nature of work — many of which are technological in origin
— have been more disruptive and less beneficial for non-college than college workers. (...)"
