This clear, accessible volume provides a comprehensive overview of
the ongoing debate over the determining factors of and key
influences on employment growth and labor market training,
education, and related policies in the United States. Drawing on
the work of distinguished labor economists, the chapters tackle
questions posed by job and skill demands in the "new high-tech
economy" and explore sources of employment growth; productivity
growth and its implications for future employment; government
mandates, labor costs, and employment; and labor force
demographics, income inequality, and returns to human capital.
These topics are central concerns for government, which must judge
every prospective policy proposal by its effects on employment
growth. Washington keeps at least one eye firmly on the jobs
picture, and public officials at every level are constantly aware
of the issues surrounding American job security. The jobs issue
reaches beyond this focus on the unemployment rate and on total
employment, including the rate at which employment is seen as
growing, the growth of real wages, the security of employment,
returns to human capital, uncertainty about the education and
training best suited for a world of rapidly changing economic
conditions, and the distribution of the gains from growth across
economic classes and population groups.
