Customer Reviews

Excellent, accessible

This was a good textbook for labor economics, very accessible. It describes the theory in good detail then goes on to give examples of what happens in the real world. If I wasn't buying for class, I would still have bought an earlier edition.

On time and in condition as stated

The book arrived in brand new condition, as it was stated. It also did not receive any damages in the shipping and came on time for my shipping selection.

Great Condidtion

This book was in great condition when I received it. It was in the shrink wrap and was shipped fast. Unfortunately I did not need it for the class so I had to return it but the return was quick and easy. I recieved a refund within 2 weeks!

Without question the BEST Labor Economics text ever!

This is truly an amazing work, which shows so many models of labor market phenomena at the undergraduate level that an undergraduate's economics education is incomplete without it. This book is essential reading for both undergraduates and policymakers who want to learn labor economics, economics in general, or have a deeper understanding of public policy issues. The best features are its unmatched explanations of human capital models, labor market discrimination models, and labor union models -- which will change the way you think of these issues and give deeper understanding. The book is both concise, deep, a quick and fun read, and makes Nobel-prize winning material accessible to any undergraduate or policy maker.
