Paying for the job?: When good jobs go bad -- Bad jobs can be good -- Part IV. Toward a fairer wage: Rethinking inequality -- Toward a fairer wage "Setting wages isn't an exact science, but we like to think that our workplace performance provides an objective basis for pay.

Your pay depends on your productivity and occu pation. If you earn roughly the same as others in your job, with the precise level determined by your performance, then you re paid market value. And who can question something as objective and im personal as the market? That, at least, is how many of us tend to think. But according to Jake Rosen feld, we need to think again. Job performance and occupational character istics do play a role in determining pay, but judg ments of productivity and value are also highly sub jective. What makes a lawyer more valuable than a teacher? How do you measure the output of a police officer, a professor, or a reporter? Why, in the past few decades, did CEOs suddenly become hundreds of times more valuable than their employ ees? The answers lie not in objective criteria but in battles over interests and ideals. In this contest four dynamics are paramount: power, inertia, mimicry, and demands for equity. Power struggles legitimize pay for particular jobs, and organizational inertia makes that pay seem natural. Mimicry encourages employers to do what peers are doing. And work ers are on the lookout for practices that seem un fair. Rosenfeld shows us how these dynamics play out in real-world settings, drawing on cutting-edge economics, original survey data, and a journalistic eye for compelling stories and revealing details. At a time when unions and bargaining power are declining and inequality is rising, You re Paid What You’re Worth is a crucial resource for under standing that most basic of social questions: Who gets what and why?
Jake Rosenfeld is Professor of Sociology at Washington University in St. Louis, where he specializes in the political and economic causes of inequality in advanced democracies. He is author of What Unions No Longer Do and writes for the New York Times, Politico, and Los Angeles Times, among other outlets.
