This is the story of what has happened to the ways in which
Philadelphians make a living. It describes the impact of the two
world wars, the depression, and postwar prosperity on the structure
and functioning of the labor market. Philadelphia Workers in a
Changing Economy places the findings of a unique research program
investigating the problems and conditions of a metropolitan labor
market in their historical setting. While the book has special
interest for individuals and organizations concerned with the
economic welfare of Philadelphia and its environs, its significance
is more than local. It compares trends in the nation and in other
metropolitan centers with those in Philadelphia. In addition the
economic development problems of cities in general and the
flexibilities and inflexibilities of an urban labor force in
adjusting to a changing economy receive considerable attention. The
statistical data, methodology, and analysis will be of value to
regional economists, labor market analysts, and students of
manpower problems in major industrial and occupational groups.
