REFORMS OF THE LABOR MARKET IN THE UNITED STATES (1973-2013) AND ITS IMPACTS ON INEQUALITY
Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to show the evolution of the labor market of the United States in the period 1973-2013, making a detailed analysis of the most relevant labor reforms carried out and assessing their impact on income inequality. The basic work hypothesis that will be tried to document is that the different presidents throughout the investigated period have not articulated policies of progress for the American workers. According to our interpretation, from the eighties of the twentieth century, there was a change in the economic paradigm in the United States and this new economic model and its projection into the labor sphere has had repercussions on income inequality.
Key words: United States, labor market policy, labor reforms, neoliberal policy.
