Michael Piore

Michael Piore is an influential American economist known for his research on labor markets, employment dynamics, and the impact of globalization on work. He co-authored the book "Dual Labor Markets," which explores how the job market is divided into two segments: a stable, well-paying sector and a precarious, low-wage sector. Piore’s work emphasizes the importance of understanding how economic policies and social factors shape employment opportunities, workers' experiences, and the overall economy. His insights contribute to debates on labor rights, immigration, and economic inequality in modern society.
