Book Synopsis
Though recent downturns in the global economy have lowered the number of jobs available, private employment researcher Cohen and Zaidi (human resources and industrial relations, U. of Minnesota) believe that the skill shortages they found during research in 1995-98 will surface again as the economy recovers. Their findings suggest that skill shortages exist even at times of full employment, and during both expansion and contraction. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
