The Wage Adjustment Board: Wartime Stabilization in the Building and Construction Industry examines the work of the Wage Adjustment Board during World War II. John T. Dunlop offers detailed insights into the board's role in stabilizing wages within the vital building and construction sectors during a critical period in American history. This study explores the challenges and strategies employed to manage labor relations and maintain productivity amidst wartime pressures.
This book is a valuable resource for economists, labor historians, and anyone interested in the intersection of government policy, labor markets, and industrial relations during the mid-20th century. Dunlop's research provides a nuanced understanding of the complexities involved in balancing economic stability with the needs of workers and industries crucial to the war effort.
