In this book, leading economists examine a variety of important trends in the new economy, including inequality of earnings and other forms of compensation, job security, employer reliance on temporary and contract workers, hours of work, and workplace safety and health. In order to better understand these vital issues, scholars must be able to accurately measure labor market activity. Thus, Labor in the New Economy also addresses a host of measurement issues: from the treatment of outliers, imputation methods, and weighting in the context of specific surveys to evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of data from different sources. At a time when employment is a central concern for individuals, businesses, and the government, this volume provides important insight into the recent past and will be a useful tool for researchers in the future. 410 0$aStudies in income and wealth ;$vv. 71. 606 $aLabor market$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aWage differentials$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aJob security$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aLabor market 615 0$aWage differentials 615 0$aJob security 676 $a331.120973 701 $aAbraham$b Katharine G$0125695 701 $aSpletzer$b James$01120643 701 $aHarper$b Michael J$0266508 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808946503321 996 $aLabor in the new economy$93955085 997 $aUNINA
