Great Labor Book

I used this book for a Labor Economics class in college. While at first Labor Economics seemed kind of boring to me, after reading this text and taking the class, I became really excited about Labor Economics. Not only does the book present itself very well with depth to the concepts and graphs and data to help solidfy the points being made by the author, it is also written by David Macpherson. David Macpherson is a professor of economics at FSU and he heads the yearly debate between the Post Office and the unions. So, it comes to no suprise when the book gets into unions that it shines. I would highly recommend this textbook to anyone. After reading the first four or five chapters in this book, the reader can procede to any chapter that they want to, that is how well the book is laid out. Again, if you want a good labor economics book then this is it, you could purchase the 7th ed. but I think the data is just updated a bit. Save yourself about 60 bucks and get this edition instead.

This is a good book for labor econ students

This book was written well and the ideas expressed in this book happen to be easily understood from a student's point of view. The graphs and charts in the book really help to explain the concept, so that most people can understand what the authors are attempting to explain. The chapter summaries are done well b/c they go over the major points and attempt to wrap it all up.
