"Americans are facing heightened economic pressures from the effects of globalization as workers from China, India, and other developing nations play a growing role in the world's economy. Advances in technology and transportation now mean that U.S. workers increasingly are competing with workers overseas—not just in manufacturing, but also in high-skill and high-wage sectors. Growth in information technologies, in particular, has facilitated deeper integration of economies across the globe while also posing both new opportunities and new challenges for the U.S. economy." Jason E. Bordoff is Policy Director at the Hamilton Project, Michael Deich is Managing Director at the Hamilton Project, Rebecca Kahane is Research Assistant at the Hamilton Project, Peter R. Orszag is Director of the Hamilton Project.
