Only 40% of U.S. workers hold quality jobs as the Chamber of Commerce sues over proposed H-1B visa fee increases. Meanwhile, Chobani’s valuation hits $20 billion and Coca-Cola faces pressure over sugar sourcing amid broader economic shifts.
Labor Market Quality Concerns
According to reports, just 40% of U.S. workers hold what researchers define as “quality jobs,” roles meeting at least three of five criteria including financial well-being, workplace culture, and growth opportunities. The findings come as employee engagement reportedly sits near a 10-year low, with analysts suggesting broader sluggishness in the labor market despite employment numbers. This assessment of labor economics challenges conventional job market metrics that focus primarily on employment rates rather than job quality.
