This book is a theoretical and empirical examination of human resource growth and change in postwar Puerto Rico. The study is empirically based, but emphasis is given to econometric results as opposed to econometric methods. Santiago focuses on efficiency in the use of human resources during rapid industrialization. Nonetheless, the author subscribes to the notion that economic growth is a necessary but not sufficient condition for economic development. This work helps us better understand the process of economic development, thus providing directions for practical solutions to the pressing economic problems faced by the majority of the population of the planet.

The United States labor force is examined in detail in this comprehensive study. The history and current makeup of the labor force is revealed and issues and trends are investigated. The book begins with a discussion of the development of the workforce, the impact of immigration, the rise of nontraditional work arrangements, the underground economy, and demographics. Education is examined in part two. Career choices, unions, wage determination, women and minority issues, and unemployment are considered in later chapters. It concludes with a look at the government's role in the workforce, including welfare, social insurance, and health care and shows how these programs impact both employer and worker behavior.
