Cully, Mark
Australian Bulletin of Labour, v28 n3 p141-62 Sep 2002
Australian census data were analyzed to determine how the transition to a knowledge economy has altered the character of jobs. Of 340 occupations, 84 declined and 64 doubled in overall employment. Occupations dominated by women and part-time workers grew fastest. The knowledge economy has had ambiguous effects; many workers are underemployed. (Contains 13 references.) (JOW)
