About
Journal
Since 1983, the Journal of Labor
Economics has presented international research that examines issues
affecting the economy as well as social and private behavior. The Journal
publishes both theoretical and applied research results relating to the U.S.
and international data. And its contributors investigate various aspects of
labor economics, including supply and demand of labor services, personnel
economics, distribution of income, unions and collective bargaining, applied
and policy issues in labor economics, and labor markets and demographics.
