______ refers to barriers that keep low-wage workers from ascending from the bottom.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

Consider the phrasing of the question: it asks which term refers to barriers that keep low-wage workers from moving up from the bottom.
Option 1: 'Sticky ceilings' — This is not a standard term for upward mobility barriers. While 'ceiling' terms exist (glass ceiling) to describe upward limits, adding 'sticky' to ceilings is not conventional and would mislabel the barrier direction.
Option 2: 'Glass floors' — This phrase is not used to describe upward mobility barriers. 'Glass floor' would imply a transparent floor at the bottom, which metaphorically doesn’t align with the concept of preventing ascent from the bottom. The well-known mobility term involves ceilings, not floors in this context.
Option 3: 'Sticky floors' — This matches the established concept of barriers that trap workers at the bottom and hinder upward mobility. The term signals friction and obstacles at the lower levels, preventing advancement, which aligns with the question.
Option 4: 'Glass ceilings' — This is a classic metaphor for barriers to advancement at the top, not for obstacles that keep people from rising from the bottom. It describes limits faced by those who are already at a higher level aiming to move further up, rather than keeping bottom-level workers down.
