　　1. Approach: Labor Economics is surveyed with an emphasis on both theory and facts. This approach relies more on "the economic way of thinking" than other texts.

　　2. Concise and Flexible: This edition remains much shorter than competing labor economics textbooks. The book contains an introductory chapter, plus 11 substantive chapters. The book continues to have each chapter serve as the basis for about a week’s worth of lectures in a typical undergraduate semester cours
