The United States labor force is examined in detail in this
comprehensive study. The history and current makeup of the
workforce is revealed and issues and trends are investigated.
Theory and analysis are blended with demographics to provide the
reader with a solid overview of the current state of the American
worker and his or her environment. Competing views are offered on
diverse issues such as unions, welfare, and health care. Where
helpful, economic and labor theory is explained and applied to give
the book scholarly rigor along with readability and practical
information. The viewpoint remains focused on a broad view of
manpower. As such, emphasis is not on theoretical analysis but on
description, historical trends, statistics on present conditions,
and explanations.
The book begins with a discussion of the development of the
workforce, the impact of immigration, the rise of nontraditional
work arrangements, the underground economy, and demographics. Basic
vocabulary and concepts are presented and explained to give the
reader the tools necessary to analyze the topics presented in the
latter parts of the book. Education is examined in part two.
Competing views on the U.S. educational system and the value of
education in an economic sense are discussed as are the choices
open to non-college graduates. Career choices, unions, wage
determination, and women and minority issues are considered in
later chapters. Aspects of unemployment are explored in part seven.
The book concludes with a look at the government's role in the
workforce, including welfare, social insurance, and health care and
shows how these programs impact both employer and worker behavior.
This book is a great resource for executives, human resource
professionals, researchers, policy makers, and students.
