About this title

Synopsis

This book explores the turnover of factory labor. The author analyzes factory data from the early 1900s to show how much turnover costs employers and the reasons workers leave their jobs. These reasons include working conditions, wages, and relationships with supervisors. The author finds that turnover is more common during economic booms when workers can easily find new jobs. He concludes that understanding the causes of turnover can help employers reduce it and create a more stable workforce.
