"Headcount: Understanding the American Workforce" shines new light on the often-murky field of employment, unemployment, workforce dynamics, labor economics, and much more. The authors, Garrison Moore, and Robert Bowman, address the critical issues of measuring, analyzing, and reporting on the vast amount of information collected on the workforce.
In clear and concise English directed to a lay audience, the authors expose the fallacy in the many engrained myths and misunderstandings. Both Moore and Bowman spent their careers in studying the workforce and using the information discussed in Headcount.
The book addresses the serious public policy issue regarding the complex dynamics of the workforce. Most journalists follow reports on the workforce once a month, if that. We get the unemployment rate, and maybe the number of new jobs created that month, and then move on. Except in a recession, the public pays more attention to the weather reports in San Diego or stock market reports.
Yet like icebergs and mushrooms, most of what journalists need to know about the workforce lies beneath the surface. What lies beneath is extraordinarily consequential. It drives the rise and fall of stock markets, the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve, and federal legislation on taxes, federal budget priorities, education, and training funding and much else.
Most importantly, the proper use of the data affects the lives and well-being of 325 million real people like ourselves — our jobs, our pay, our taxes, and our station in life.
Unfortunately, ideologues, politicians, and special interest groups take advantage of the public’s lack of familiarity in this area to distort the data for their purposes. There is much confused reporting and misunderstanding of the data by journalists, and pundits, as well, creating a serious lack of a by most of the public. This book should help.
