Essay #2: Over- and Underpaid Work
2-3 pages, double-spaced
This assignment has two parts: You will read two articles from the New York Times about income inequality, next you will write about a job that you think is overpaid or a job that you think is underpaid. Explain what the job is, why you think those who do it are overpaid or underpaid, and propose what a better wage or salary would be.
In your writing you must make reference to either or both the classical theory of wages or the neoclassical theory of wages when you explain why people are overpaid or underpaid, and when you propose a better wage or salary. Both of these theories are defined and described in Adlers Economics for the Rest of Us. For this assignment you may also use the film we screened in class, American Factory, or the two articles attached to this email, or your own lived experience as a worker to support your arguments.
