The jobs that guaranteed security and adequate retirement benefits when baby boomers entered the workforce have vanished. Wage growth has been slow after decades of stagnation. Companies are embracing the gig economy and a contract workforce. Organized labor has shown signs of strength in parts of the country. And issues of automation, discrimination, worker protections and workplace culture are all unsettled.
