The first text in Labor Economics to systematically cover both classic labor economics and ”the new labor economics,” which includes topics like job design, incentives, and modern Human Resources issues.
Labor Economics has comprehensive coverage, and gives instructors the flexibility to tailor their text precisely to the course that they want to teach. The text stresses problem solving, with several Worked Problems in each chapter, and includes leading-edge pedagogy to help students better understand and master the material.
