Working in America: A Blueprint for the New Labor Market

by Paul Osterman, Richard M. Locke, Michael J. Piore, et al.

Book Overview

The American labour market faces many deep-rooted problems, including persistence of a large low-wage sector, worsening inequality in earnings, employees' lack of voice in the workplace, and the need of employers to maximize flexibility if they are to survive in an increasingly competitive market. The impetus for this book is the absence of a serious national debate in America about these issues.
