Sumario:Drawing on fieldwork in Chicago, this book examines changes in two industries in which inferior job quality is assumed to be intrinsic: residential construction and food retail. Arguing that a growing service sector does not have to mean growing inequality, the author proposes creative policy and organizing opportunities to improve job quality despite the overwhelming barriers to national political action.
