�ber diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

American workers are faced with increasing economic insecurity due to corporate downsizings, stagnant wages, shaky employee benefits, and rising income and wealth inequality. While proposed remedies abound--new restrictions on immigration and trade, universal health insurance, penalties against "irresponsible" companies--little agreement has emerged beyond a general sense that any effort to improve prospects for the American workforce must include enhancing their education and training.In search of a specific course of action, the Twentieth Century Fund convened a task force comprising representatives of business, labor, government, and academia. Over the course of the year-long deliberations, the task force identified several government and corporate strategies that could continuously strengthen the skills and knowledge of many workers and enhance the productivity of the American workforce, raising prospects for higher U.S. corporate profitability and economic growth.The task force was chaired by former New Jersey governor Jim Florio. The volume includes a background paper, "Economic Change and the American Worker," written by Carl. E. Van Horn, professor of public policy at the Eagleton Institute at Rutgers University and executive director of the task force.

Anbieterinformationen

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
