Occupational Labor Shortages : Concepts, Causes, Consequences, and Cures

Labor markets do not always operate smoothly with supply and demand being equal at a given time. This book should help the reader understand why shortages arise, identify a shortage when present, and assess strategies to alleviate the shortage. As shown in the next section, many economists, including several U.S. Nobel Prize winners, have studied occupational shortages, and this volume builds on their work.
