| Reviews and Recommendations |
"It is impossible to make sound decisions on tomorrow's economic policy without having thorough knowledge of the trends that have shaped our economy. The great value of the Handbook of U.S. Labor Statistics is that it brings together into one source the data that researchers need to identify and understand those trends."
—Alan Heston, Professor of Economics, University of Pennsylvania
|
"The Handbook of U.S. Labor Statistics is comprehensive and well organized. Those interested in our country's changing labor market will find it an excellent, easy-to-use, and rewarding source of information."
—Janet L. Norwood, former U.S. Commissioner of Labor Statistics

"Accurate data reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics http://www.bls.gov/) is critical for shaping national labor policy and conducting fair and successful labor negotiations.
