"Do we need a book concentrating solely on the demand side of the labor market? There are ... strong reasons why the answer is yes.... Hamermesh is to be congratulated for providing a text that will stimulate a greater interest in the study of labor demand." --Robert A. Hart, Journal of Political Economy, "Do we need a book concentrating solely on the demand side of the labor market? There are ... strong reasons why the answer is yes.... Hamermesh is to be congratulated for providing a text that will stimulate a greater interest in the study of labor demand." ---Robert A. Hart, Journal of Political Economy, "In addition to discussing the relevant theoretical aspects in the field, Hamermesh spares no effort in providing tabular surveys of the vast empirical literature. Confronting theoretical models with empirical 'facts' of how a firm's labor demand responses to exogenous shocks provides ... 'a dose of reality to the more fanciful flights of macroeconomic theory.'... The book is ... essential reading."-- Christoph R.
