Labor Economics

This book tells the 'story' of how labor markets work. Telling this story involves much more than simply recounting the history of labor law in the United States or in other countries and presenting reams of statistics summarizing conditions in the labor market. After all, good stories have themes, characters that come alive with vivid personalities, conflicts that have to be resolved, ground rules that limit the set of permissible actions, and events that result inevitably from the interaction among characters.
