DESCRIPTION:
labor markets has continued and been expanded with this edition.. As a result, the focus of the text is on the “new” labor economics. Additionally, the text’s integrated focus on global aspects of U.S. Labor markets and unemployment was given some attention, but the analysis was typically minimal.

Bought this book for an undergrad Labor Economics class for Spring 2008. This book is clearly for undergraduates: includes too many "real world examples", assumes very little mathematical knowledge, and chapter material is not presented concisely. After enjoying the rigor of Macroeconomics by Mankiw and Microeconomics by Pindyck et al., this book was a disappointment.One other thing: the book spontaneously uses common last names to represent subjects in "real world examples". The author is clearly trying to avoid scrutiny by using multicultural last names, but this I felt this effort was awkward and ineffective rather than help. 008.
