摘要: Multiskilling refers to a labour utilization strategy in which workers learn multiple skills one or more trades outside of their primary trade. Over 700 non‐union craft across the USA were surveyed as part research effort. The data collected show that slight increase breadth positively impacts worker’s hourly wage, but only weak relationship was found between multiskilling and continuous employment.
