Labor Turnover In Industry PDF Download

Excerpt from Labor Turnover in Industry: A Statistical Analysis The figures which constitute the basis for the statistical analysis presented in these pages were collected for the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics by the authors and other members of the Bureau's staff. A large part of the material thus collected already has been utilized in various articles published in the Bureau's Monthly Labor Review. The Bureau of Labor Statistics, however, is responsible neither for the opinions herein expressed by the authors nor for the statistical treatment its original figures have received at their hands. The authors desire to express their appreciation of the help they have received from Dr. Royal Meeker, formerly Commissioner of Labor Statistics and now editor of the International Labour Review, and from Mr. Lucian W. Chaney, of the staff of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Mr. Ethelbert Stewart, now Commissioner of Labor Statistics, was in general charge of the field work of the Bureau's investigation of labor turnover. Working with the authors under his direction were Messrs. Boris Emmet, William F. Kirk, and Irving Winslow. To them and to Mr. Stewart the authors are very much indebted and they wish to take this opportunity to express their appreciation. Although they are too numerous to mention by name, the authors desire to express their deep sense of obligation to the hundreds of employment managers, factory superintendents, and business executives who cheerfully put themselves to great inconvenience in order to furnish the necessary information. The authors earnestly hope that this analysis of the figures they so kindly furnished may be of use to some of them. To the Academy of Political Science at Columbia University, the Ronald Press Company, and the University of Chicago Press, the authors desire to extend thanks for permission to reprint material originally published in the Political Science Quarterly, Administration and the Journal of Political Economy.
