Book Description

"In the summer of 2014, the Nebraska Department of Economic Development and the Nebraska Department of Labor collaborated in a project designed to measure labor availability in the Lincoln and Omaha metro regions of Nebraska. The Nebraska Department of Labor, Office of Labor Market Information (NDOL LMI) frequently collects many types of data about Nebraska workers for the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The BLS then measures how many people work in different industries and occupations. Also, the BLS measures how many people work or do not work. While the BLS and NDOL LMI produce a rich data catalog, neither agency regularly measures the reasons workers choose to work where they do, or choose not to work. This study aims to supplement BLS and NDOL LMI data with information about those motivations. Understanding why people take a job helps stakeholders understand how an employer might attract new workers. In addition, understanding the characteristics of the current labor force and the incentives required for residents to change jobs could shed light on how communities might improve the local labor force" (page 4).

Book Description

Monumental and revelatory, Free Labor explores labor activism throughout the country during a period of incredible diversity and fluidity: the American Civil War. Mark A. Lause describes how the working class radicalized during the war as a response to economic crisis, the political opportunity created by the election of Abraham Lincoln, and the ideology of free labor and abolition. His account moves from battlefield and picket line to the negotiating table, as he discusses how leaders and the rank-and-file alike adapted tactics and modes of operation to specific circumstances. His close attention to women and African Americans, meanwhile, dismantles notions of the working class as synonymous with whiteness and maleness. In addition, Lause offers a nuanced consideration of race's role in the politics of national labor organizations, in segregated industries in the border North and South, and in black resistance in the secessionist South, creatively reading self-emancipation as the largest general strike in U.S. history.
