Labor in America: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Labor in America" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This book, designed to give a survey history of American labor from colonial times to the present, is uniquely well suited to speak to the concerns of todays teachers and students. As issues of growing inequality, stagnating incomes, declining unionization, and exacerbated job insecurity have increasingly come to define working life over the last 20 years, a new generation of students and teachers is beginning to seek to understand labor and its place and ponder seriously its future in American life. Like its predecessors, this ninth edition of our classic survey of American labor is designed to introduce readers to the subject in an engaging, accessible way.
