Experienced Scholar Outlines Plan for Restoring Jobs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Clearly written, highly readable book with excellent examples and anecdotes about how to restore high paying, 9 to 5 jobs in America. I highly recommend this book for practitioners and the general public who would like to absorb a dense amount of information without having to weed through a dry academic book. Many examples of policy changes that Kochan proposes can be readily proposed in your organization to improve working conditions without sacrificing profitability.
