The labour market is steaming: unemployment is near a 40-year low. Yet dissatisfaction is rife. Real wages are still below their pre-financial-crisis level, and a higher fraction of Britons are in part-time work or self-employed. Today’s long-anticipated government review by Matthew Taylor, who worked for a previous Labour government, will make recommendations on how to give Britons a better deal. Mr Taylor’s review is expected to focus on the 1m or so Britons who participate in the “gig economy”—driving Uber taxis or using white-collar freelancing platforms such as Upwork—many of whom are being exploited. Among his recommendations may be a version of the minimum wage for these overlooked employees; he may propose a new category of worker for the purposes of employment law. Mr Taylor’s critics, however, will probably argue that instead of legislating for sweeping changes to the labour market, the government simply needs to enforce existing laws better.
