Description: Recent research suggests that globalization has placed considerable pressure on lower-skilled US workers. In this study, the authors draw on data and surveys to examine the measurable and the perceived effects of US engagement with the world on American workers. As globalization comes under evergrowing scrutiny from all sides, this book should be of great interest to policymakers, researchers, and students.
Review Quotes: [A] fascinating, effective, and important manuscript on the relationship between the pressures of a global economy and the perceptions and policy preferences of workers over trade and immigration.--Ted Brader, University of Michigan Institute for Social Research
