The Handbook of U.S. Labor Statistics: Employment, Earnings, Prices, Productivity, and Other Labor Data continues and enhances the Bureau of Labor Statistics's (BLS) discontinued publication, Labor Statistics. It brings authoritative data from the BLS and other government agencies together into a convenient, single-volume source of labor data. The Handbook is the most comprehensive source of labor data available. It provides data on variety of topics including employment, earnings, prices, productivity, consumer expenditures, and related topics. This popular resource also includes data on international labor comparisons, union affiliation, and occupational safety and health.
The nineteenth edition of a standard resource presents data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics in approximately 225 tables. Topics addressed include unemployment, earnings, prices, consumer expenditures, occupational safety and health, union membership, and more. Tables and figures are displayed in user-friendly formats, with supporting text and bulleted lists of highlights for each general heading. New to this edition are sections on 'Women in the Workforce' and employment projections for 2014 through 2024. Although the raw statistical data is available directly from the Bureau of Labor Statistics website, this print version is convenient and easy-to-use, and there is value added by the supporting text and general index.
