James Sherk

As a former research fellow in labor economics at The Heritage Foundation, James Sherk researched ways to promote competition and mobility in the workforce rather than erect barriers that prevent workers from getting ahead. Sherk’s writings address the economic benefits of right-to-work laws; why participation in the labor force dropped during the recession; and how automation has affected the labor market.
