Employer-Provided Training, Wages, and Capital Investment --Contributors --Author Index --Subject IndexRapidly changing technology, the globalization of markets, and the declining role of unions are just some of the factors that have led to dramatic changes in working conditions in the United States. Little attention has been paid to the difficult measurement problems underlying analysis of the labor market. Labor Statistics Measurement Issues helps to fill this gap by exploring key theoretical and practical issues in the measurement of employment, wages, and workplace practices. Some of the chapters in this volume explore the conceptual issues of what is needed, what is known, or what can be learned from existing data, and what needs have not been met by available data sources. Others make innovative uses of existing data to analyze these topics. Also included are papers examining how answers to important questions are affected by alternative measures used and how these can be reconciled. This important and useful book will find a large audience among labor economists and consumers of labor statistics.Studies in income and wealth ;v. 60.Labor productivityUnited StatesStatistical methodsCongressesLabor supplyUnited StatesStatistical methodsCongressesUnemployedUnited StatesCongressesWork measurementUnited StatesCongresseslabor, work, changing technology, globalization, markets, economics, unions, workers, working conditions, united states of america, american society, usa, employment, wages, pay, workplace practices, economists, productivity, production, unemployment, jobs, ownership changes, lifetime job, training, capital investments, compensation, statistical research.Labor productivityStatistical methodsLabor supplyStatistical methodsUnemployedWork measurement330 s331.1/07/24Haltiwanger John C140766Manser Marilyn145549Topel Robert H145544Conference on Research in Income and Wealth.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910777307003321Labor statistics measurement issues3700036UNINA
