Labor is the United States' most important resource, receiving over half of national income. Labor is the primary source of income for most people. Why have wages for many workers stagnated in recent decades? Why do women earn less than men, and blacks less than whites? How do unions affect earnings of their members? Does the minimum wage reduce poverty or increase unemployment (or both!)? This class will discuss concepts and trends in labor economics, including employment and unemployment, compensation, wage distribution and inequality, education as "human capital," and the impacts of technology and international trade.
