We’re looking for a tenacious reporter to tell the story of 21st century labor: one where workforce management software and the sharing economy are as significant to the lives of working Americans as labor unions and factory floors once were. As the market for well-paying, stable middle class job evaporates, there is a huge story to be told in what is replacing it, and how the nation’s biggest employers are treating their workers.
The beat is broad and can include everything from new forms of labor activism to the rise of the freelance economy and the politics of the minimum wage. As robotics, software and offshoring continue to eat away at the labor market, the successful candidate should produce original reporting that gives a clear-eyed view of the winners and losers.
This is perhaps the most important story in the U.S. economy, and we are seeking a candidate who wants to own it and make it theirs. The ideal candidate must be as comfortable covering the scene at a fast-food worker protest as they are asking hard questions of executives – this beat has a lot of crossover potential.
