Excerpt from Wages and Hours in American Manufacturing Industries: July, 1914 January, 1922 The investigation did not include executives, office and sales force, foremen or assistants, clerical workers or others paid on a salary basis. The classification of wage data closely follows that pursued by the Conference Board in previous wage studies. The wage earners were first divided by sex, and then into the occupa tional classifications of male common or 'unskilled labor, and male all other labor. Common or unskilled labor is de fined as the general group that performs the cruder muscle tasks for which no previous training 13 required. All other labor is composed of the remainder of semi-skilled and skilled labor of all kinds, which has some degree of training. All kinds of workers are contained in the latter classification, from those who rank just above common laborers to the most highly skilled wage earners. The dividing line between these two groups is difficult to determine, but this classification follows the general understanding as to the distinction implied in these terms. In the, charts and tables contained in this report, the word skilled refers to the male workers in the all' other group.

Rebound takes the currently unthinkable view that the economy will bounce back faster and stronger from the downturn than most economists expect. Noted Labor economist Stephen J. Rose amasses data on the economic performance of America over the last 30 years to debunk myths about declining middle class incomes, burger-flipping jobs and global competition. He also describes the evolution of the financial crisis and mortgage lending implosion under the rubric of "brilliant idiocy" to show how the investors, financial firms, and regulators all made devastating mistakes in pursuit of quick gains. The book argues forcefully that simple financial regulation and forthcoming investments in education, health care and energy will pay quick and healthy dividends. Using economic analysis rather than partisan argument, Rebound cuts through the clutter of political debate to show how the economy will return to high growth rates.
