Great Book

I'm currently a student at UCSD working towards his Economics degree. There are a ton of boring Econ classes at our school but I must say that this class, Human Resources, was very interesting, thanks to this book (and our dear professor Julian Betts)!This book covers some interesting topics. They include:1) Whether a firm should pay it's workers a commission or piece rates.2) Whether a firm should screen it's job applicants and when would it be best to do so.3) How to deal with turnover rates to maximize firm profits.I'm sure there are many books that cover these topics but this book makes reading so effortless and fun because the author explains these concepts so clearly! I highly recommend this book!!!
