Labor, work & inequality Videos Recommended on Hacker News (92)
Labor, work & inequality is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 92 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2008 and 2026 — 215 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.
Work and wealth: wages, unions, universal basic income, automation of jobs, inequality, billionaires, cost of living, housing affordability, gig economy, immigration and labor.
Why HN keeps sending people here — on What Happened to Horses Is Happening to Us: “Excellent video on the subject: CGPGrey - Humans Need Not Apply” — an HN commenter, 2015.
