A distinguished roster of contributors considers the state of the art of
the field at the turn of the 21st century and charts an ambitious agenda
for the future. Following what the editors describe as an
`evolutionist' approach to the study of labor markets, the chapters
address issues of continuity and discontinuity in a wide range of topics
including: markets and institutional structures; employment relations
and work structures; patterns of stratification in the United States;
and public policies, opportunity structures, and economic outcomes.
