Product Description
George Borjas� well-received text blends coverage of traditional topics with modern theory and developments into a superb Labor Economics book. The Fourth Edition builds on the features and concepts that made the first three editions successful, updating and adding new content to keep the text on the cusp of recent events in the Labor Economics field. In addition, 4/e offers greater instructor support with a significant number of new end-of-chapter problems and a new test bank. Labor Economics continues to be the most concise book available on the subject, but despite its brevity, instructors will find that all key topics are covered. Borjas� integration of theory with facts and coverage of latest research make his book one of the most popular at the middle and upper end of the market. The text stresses the ideas that labor economists use to understand how the labor market works.

 On time but conditions not as expected September 4, 2008
Garcia-perez Monica (usa)
Maybe I didn't read the little words on one side, or I was buying this book too much in a hurry. But the book was an international version that was not supposed to be sold in the US. The pages are made of a cheaper material so not very pleasant. I really only need the book for few references, but if you need to use this book for longer and extense use, I would go to a bookstore and buy a new version with better material.
 Without question the BEST Labor Economics text ever! December 19, 2002
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is truly an amazing work, which shows so many models of labor market phenomena at the undergraduate level that an undergraduate's economics education is incomplete without it. This book is essential reading for both undergraduates and policymakers who want to learn labor economics, economics in general, or have a deeper understanding of public policy issues. The best features are its unmatched explanations of human capital models, labor market discrimination models, and labor union models -- which will change the way you think of these issues and give deeper understanding. The book is both concise, deep, a quick and fun read, and makes Nobel-prize winning material accessible to any undergraduate or policy maker.
