    Osterman will examine strategies for improving job quality in the low-wage labor market through encouraging employers to improve their human resource policies. In order to aid the development of policies that lead to better wages and benefits in the private sector, he will analyze the conditions that incentivize firms to improve their employment practices. He will focus on the health care and manufacturing industries.
