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. 410 0$aStudies in income and wealth ;$vv. 60. 606 $aLabor productivity$zUnited States$xStatistical methods$vCongresses 606 $aLabor supply$zUnited States$xStatistical methods$vCongresses 606 $aUnemployed$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aWork measurement$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aLabor productivity$xStatistical methods 615 0$aLabor supply$xStatistical methods 615 0$aUnemployed 615 0$aWork measurement 676 $a330 s 676 $a331.1/07/24 701 $aHaltiwanger$b John C$0140766 701 $aManser$b Marilyn$0145549 701 $aTopel$b Robert H$0145544 712 02$aConference on Research in Income and Wealth. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822215403321 996 $aLabor statistics measurement issues$94014738 997 $aUNINA
