About

Columbia Labor Lab leverages the tools of social science to understand and strengthen efforts to rebuild the economic and political power of workers. We work in partnership with unions and worker associations, affording us access to unique data and providing us opportunities to directly test the implications that follow from our work. These partnerships allow the direct application of state-of-the-art research methods in the social sciences: employing large-scale surveys, interviews, field experimental designs, administrative data linking and analysis, and machine learning.
