Review
"I am delighted with the straightforward clarity of the writing. It is pitched just right: direct and plain but not condescending. The use of active tense and the tendency not to let sentences run on compares well with my current text."--Michael Brun, Illinois State University
"I think this text serves as a great outline for a course, and provides a great overview for non-economics majors who might benefit from labor economics but would be lost by more rigorous economic material."--Earl H. Davis III, Nicholls State University
"The book gives a good grounding on the basics of labor economics, focusing on the student's grasp of those basics. Applications and examples are a key and integral part of exposition of the theory. Explanations are clear and precise. A particularly exciting aspect of the text is that it immerses students in data and data analysis from the beginning. The author introduces the students to the CPS and statistical methods for testing economic hypotheses and then the CPS is returned to in most chapters to connect the student to real economic research and to integrate the topics. Specifically, the text starts with a basic wage regression and as each topic is covered another variable(s) is added to the right hand side."--Gerald Marschke, SUNY Albany

Condition: Acceptable. LIGHTNING FAST SHIPPING! A heavily used, but still working copy. Coffee stain and wrinkling to the edge of the pages when a tired undergrad fell asleep and knocked their cup over on their books. The binding and pages of the book have been reinforced with tape, has tape and stickers on the cover, as well as lots of notes (some of the answers in the learning activities may be filled in) on the pages. Definitely not pretty, but it's a working copy at a great price that ships fast. ~ Book does NOT contain an access code or CD/DVD. Seller Inventory # #209B-0098
