Investigators from the California Labor Lab administered surveys to random samples of the working age population of California in 1999-2000 and 2022-2023. In this presentation, we show the erosion of traditional jobs, the growth of alternative and contingent forms of employment, and labor with insufficient pay to lift households out of poverty.
