Longer Hours, Fewer Jobs: Employment and Unemployment in the United States

by Michael D. Yates

Using charts, graphs, and cartoons, Michael Yates describes how unemployment, or the fear of it, is part of the life of every American worker. He outlines the changes in the structure of the labor market that have undermined the living standards of the employed. Tying these together, he provides an easily understood analysis of the economy and the social destruction brought on by its everyday functions.
