Why do some people choose to work and others choose to leave the labor market?
Why is income inequality?

The key difference between this book and others lies in its philosophy.
The author believes that ultimately, understanding how the labor market works is more important than boasting about a model that perfectly explains the labor market or memorizing hundreds of statistics and institutions that describe the conditions and circumstances of the labor market at a specific point in time.
This book makes extensive use of labor market statistics and presents evidence from numerous studies.
The primary purpose of this book is to provide an overview of the academic discipline of labor economics, which emphasizes both theory and practice.

Each chapter is the right length for a weekly class and contains only the key points concisely so that you can cover everything in one semester.
Despite its concise structure, professors will find that all the core concepts of labor economics are systematically covered.
I have tried my best not to stray from the core topic and not to describe important topics for more than ten pages.
