Details about Rewarding Work: How to Restore Participation and Self-Support to Free Enterprise, With a New Preface:

Since the 1970s a gulf has opened between the pay of low-paid workers and the pay of the middle class. No longer able to earn a decent wage in respectable work, many have left the labor force, and the job attachment of those remaining has weakened.

As firms hire more of these workers, the labor market would tighten, driving up their pay levels as well as their employment.
