Designed to provide information about the US labour force, this handbook includes tables which are organized by subject matter while each section is preceded by a description of the data presented.

Bernan Press is pleased to present a compilation of Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data in this 12th edition of its award-winning Handbook of U.S Labor Statistics.

BLS provides a treasure trove of historical information about all aspects of labor and employment in the United States.The current edition maintains the content of previous editions and updates the text with additional data and new features. The data in this Handbook are excellent sources of information for analysts in both government and the private sector.

In earlier editions, this publication analyzed some of the issues that were then being addressed: the decline in employment in the manufacturing sector, the high unemployment rates for young minorities, the cost of health care services and prescription drugs, the changing pension plans, the specter of inflation as a result of the rise in fuel prices, the impact of changing technology on the educational

and occupational requirements of industry, and the impact of immigration on the structure of the labor force.

The dramatic aging of the labor force is a major factor in current discussions about the cost of health care and changing pension plans. Policy decisions on these questions are still relevant today. Other issues include the stagnation of real wages despite an increase in productivity, which has led to concern that this trend indicates a lack of progress in improving the standard of living of workers.

It is important to examine the historical movement of various series; as a result, some tables in this publication show data back to 1913. This Handbook includes tables on employment and unemployment and employer costs for employee health care. Tables of projections of industry output and employment show the expected trends in the technology sector and the educational requirements of jobs in this sector. Other tables show how workers have fared in terms of wages (which have been adjusted for

changing prices). Chapter 13 shows the distribution of income which differs from wages by the addition of other income such as investment income and pension income.

Data in this chapter come from the Census Bureau.
