The JQI is a new economic indicator generated on a monthly basis. The JQI shows changes in the quality of the U.S. jobs base by tracking the relative numbers of high-wage/high-hours goods-producing (and some service) jobs, and low-wage/low-hour positions. The long term trend of increasing dominance of low-wage, low-hour jobs has resulted in low household income growth, higher income inequality and overall U.S. economic growth below its potential.
The historic launch of the U.S. Private Sector Job Quality Index (JQI)®, developed by researchers at the Program on the Law and Regulation of Financial Institutions and Markets of the Jack G. Clarke Institute at Cornell University Law School (Cornell-Clarke), the Coalition for a Prosperous America (CPA), the University of Missouri – Kansas City Department of Economics (UMKC), and the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity (GISP).
