The U.S. is experiencing a crisis around job quality. Emerging climate jobs can give workers a living wage, health care, and safe working conditions.

Experts say those making decisions about AI should engage proactively with policymakers and consider worker voice and well-being.

Artificial intelligence can be useful in the workplace, but humans have to first define what success looks like, according to MIT Sloan’s Danielle Li.

Researchers studied the effects the Family and Medical Leave Act had after its passage in 1993. Here’s where it drove change.

A new book explains how organizations are tapping AI-savvy front-line employees to create applications, mobile apps, automated workflows, and data analyses.

In the U.S., front-line workers’ attitudes toward unions are softening, especially among people under 30. Here’s what they want from their workplaces.

Institute professor Daron Acemoglu and MIT Sloan professor Simon Johnson have examined economic growth, digital advertising, and the Russian oil cap.

When stakeholders become more involved in generative AI design and implementation, it’s more likely that such tools will augment work rather than displace workers.

New research from MIT Sloan shows stiffer penalties are needed to incentivize employers to pay workers a minimum wage.
