Monthly Labor Review
Recommended supplement
According to the Monthly Labor Review, its job is to "provide the pieces." In other words, bringing you the raw data is its mission. Then, the publication helps you put the pieces together, since each issue also brings you insights on employment, wages and benefits, prices and productivity, and the rest of the economic puzzle. In the end, of course, you get the picture!
The Monthly Labor Review is published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is represented in 10 federal districts by the Bureau of Labor Statistics regional offices. They are prepared to...
- Help you find the information you need about prices, the labor force, wages, employee benefits, safety and health, productivity, and other current statistical series.
- Explain what the data mean to your region, your industry, and your labor market.
- Deliver the information promptly and help you use the data correctly.
If you are in the academic world and looking for a job, an additional source of occupational information that no self-respecting faculty member or future faculty member should be without is The Chronicle of Higher Education (ISSN 0009-5982) published weekly by the Chronicle of Higher Education, Inc. The Chronicle is divided into two parts, A and B. Despite the fact that there are excellent articles in the publication, Section B is probably the most often read. Section B has a comprehensive listing of jobs (e.g., 87 pages in the November 1, 1996, issue) available in the academic community, which covers faculty, administrators, and associations in the domestic and international field.
