By examining low-wage jobs in systematic case studies across five industries, this international study goes well beyond standard statistics to reveal national differences in the quality of low-wage work and the well-being of low-wage workers."--BOOK JACKET.The Russell Sage Foundation Case Studies of Job Quality in Advanced EconomiesWagesMinimum wageManpower policyLabor marketWages.Minimum wage.Manpower policy.Labor market.331.2/185.61bclGautié JérômeSchmitt JohnMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788357003321Low-wage work in the wealthy world3713042UNINA
