Synopsis

Labor markets affect us all in important ways, but most books for this course take a very scholarly and theoretical approach to the subject. Connecting the theory to real life is essential. McLaughlin's text--the first in this market to apply a more pedagogical approach to the study of labor economics--makes that leap for students.

Review

"Labor Economics maximizes student understanding because it is written at the perfect level, not bogged down in details that students will soon forget or cannot comprehend. It also has the best supplements of any labor economics textbook."
--David Kalist, Shippensburg University

"McLaughlin emphasizes how labor economists are essentially scientists trying to derive simple models that describe and predict human behavior. The text walks students clearly through the description of each model and gives examples of how those models can be applied and tested."
--Patten Mahler, Centre College
