We offer an integrated explanation and empirical analysis of the polarization of U.S. employment and wages between 1980 … and 2005, and the concurrent growth of low skill service occupations. We attribute polarization to the interaction between … service occupations (employment polarization), experienced earnings growth at the tails of the distribution (wage polarization …
