"When tight labor markets last, the adaptations that employers make to reel new workers in and hold on to the ones they have work to the employees' advantage. Wages, benefits, working conditions, investments in training, and options for upward mobility increase and the doors to opportunity open a bit wider than usual. These are not charity acts and while they grow when public benefits like unemployment insurance enable workers to look a bit longer for a better opportunity, they emerge without those buffers just because demand for workers has outstripped the supply. Firms have no choice: they cannot attract labor if they don't offer competitive conditions. Once in place, those benefits are hardthough not impossible-to shake.

Employers and intermediary organizations make use of similar strategies in cultivating workers on the margins for opportunities that are going begging in tight labor markets. But for small employers, the training functions, the monitoring required to keep people "in line," and the cultivation of opportunities for upward mobility can be too arduous. This is why these small businesses find intermediaries so important when sourcing unfamiliar workers. Larger employers appreciate the chance to outsource training in soft skills among the hard-to-employ.

Arguably, the most interesting feature of intermediary work is the ability to pressure employers to boost job quality. Intermediaries can—and do—make more effort to find good workers for employers who are raising wages and providing benefits. They sideline hiring managers who are fishing to fill low-quality jobs. This is a form of collective bargaining, one that worker-focused intermediary organizations are excited to engage because they can deliver greater economic opportunity to their trainees.

people with damaged biographies whether from long periods of unemployment or drug addiction--face steep odds against finding good jobs. But in tight labor markets, they are more likely to find work of some kind, because the demand is there and the supply is not, or at least not in as plentiful quantities as employers need.

The same forces that drive tight labor markets—principally economic growth—also spur an ever-escalating cost of living."
