Scott Alan CARSON

Abstract


Abstract. David Blanchflower, a leading international labor economist, challenges the prevailing view that there is robust economic recovery and provocatively illustrates that many workers remain underemployed.  Not Working takes the novel approach to examine conditions in the labor market.  Blanchflower considers both economic and non-economic aspects of the Great Recession.
