For most politicians and economists, employment is morally neutral: the more, the better. I’d argue that it’s time for a new labor movement. One that fights not only for more jobs and higher wages, but more importantly for work that has intrinsic value. Then we’ll see unemployment rise when we spend more time on mind-numbing marketing, asinine administration, and polluting junk, and drop when we start investing more time in the things that fulfill us.
