Because policies concerning the compensation of these employees rest on assumptions about the economic dynamics of the public sector, the issue of public sector employment is of vital importance in the analysis of the national economy. In Public Sector Payrolls, leading economists explore the independent and interdependent functioning of the public and private sectors and their effect on the economy as a whole. The volume, developed from a 1984 National Bureau of Economic Research conference, focuses on various labor issues in military and other governmental employment. Several contributors discuss compensation in the armed forces and its relationship to that in the private sector, as well as the interaction between the military and the private sector in the employment of youth. This latter is of particular interest because studies of youth employment have generally ignored the important influence of military hiring practices on labor market conditions. In other contributions, the response of wages and employment in the public sector to economic conditions is analyzed, and a detailed study of government pension plans is presented. Also included is a theoretical and empirical analysis of comparable worth in the public sector from the viewpoint of analytical labor economics. The volume concludes with a look at public school teachers' salaries in the context of current debates over improving the quality of American education. A valuable resource to policymakers, Public Sector Payrolls will be an important addition to research in the field of labor economics. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research project report. 606 $aLocal officials and employees$xSalaries, etc$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aTeachers$xSalaries, etc$zUnited States$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xOfficials and employees$xSalaries, etc$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xArmed Forces$xPay, allowances, etc$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLocal officials and employees$xSalaries, etc. 615 0$aTeachers$xSalaries, etc. 676 $a331.2/8135/0000973 701 $aWise$b David A$0124389 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451101803321 996 $aPublic sector payrolls$9516040 997 $aUNINA
