As indicated in the two empirical studies “Just a Temp: Experience and Structure of Alienation in Temporary and Clerical Employment” by Jackie Krasas Rogers and “The rhetoric of the `good worker' versus the realities of employers' use and the ...

Background

According to Gheen (1), illegal immigration originated from legal migrations that took place between the late 1800s and the early 1900s. In 1928, Edward H. Dowell who was the vice president of the California Federation of Labor announced that 67000 Mexicans had legally immigrated to America the previous year but an even larger number had illegally immigrated to America.

Abstract

Given the importance of human resource economics to address labor utilization together with its implications for the greater economy, the accumulation of human capital is one of the major related topics. Human capital collection greatly drives the instrumental economic considerations such as unemployment, employment turnover, and the functions of both the labor unions and government policies. Unlike most of the resources that depreciate with time, investment in human capital increases in appreciation and continually exploits the available resources. Although it may consume time, it ensures effective use of qualities and skills while enhancing other resources. The human resource plays ...

The effect of minimum wage on employment has been one of the most explored topic in the discipline of labor economics. During the global recession that plagued the world recently, the rate of employment for the low-skilled and young workers (who comprise the largest component of all minimum workers) worsened disproportionately. Traditionally, some economists have argued that the imposition of a minimum wage that is above the market clearing equilibrium wage reduces employment and at the same time contributes to unemployment particularly among the relatively unskilled as well as the young workers. This is quite ironical given that this is ...

Race discrimination refers to viewing some people as being superior compared to others, mainly due to their skin color.

They get the best jobs; they are highly paid and they garner more respect as compared to their counterparts who have dark skin. Ethnic discrimination, on the other hand, refers to as treating people differently due to their country of origin ...

Levers that set the wheels of social change in motion often seem banal and insignificant from a modern perspective. In the 17th century, sugar was little more than a dietary novelty, a foreign curiosity that improved the taste of brackish teas and sedimentary coffee for the wealthiest members of English society. A century later, the uncanny growth of the cane-based product had made it an irreplaceable commodity that would saturate the British market and lead to a sea change in Western Europe’s economic framework. The means by which sugar was produced and financed helped to revolutionize the very principles upon which English ...

Inflation in USA

Inflation in US
Introduction
Inflation refers to the rate at which the country is experiencing the general increase in prices of goods and services. When the rate of inflation is high, the purchasing power of the country’s currency will be low at the same time.

Businesses from the developed nations are also affected as well. In the current scenario, whereby the world has become a global village, multinationals are expanding into developing economies and in the process they are experiencing economic impacts ...

According to social theorist Karl Marx, revolution is "an unstoppable historical force growing out of class inequalities that are rooted in the ownership of the means of production" (Handelman, p. 221). In essence, the bourgeoisie, who are the ruling elite, controls through various means all the power and resources that are available to the detriment of the working class. This leaves the 'proletariat' unable to rise above their station or gain any agency in the government or nation to which they are dedicating their hard work and resources. Marx, in The German Ideology predicted that, in any such system ...

Of Marx/ Engels, Durkheim, and Weber
I. Marx
There are many ways by which Marx’ methodology can be viewed, and reading through his works leads to the realization of his socialism concept. In Marx’ Capitalist, he expressed how production is initiated, not because man is under the control of political power, but because he is a social being that needs to participate in the production of goods that will benefit the whole society. This was expressed in his work when he wrote, “socialized man, the associated producers, regulate their interchange with nature rationally,” (Marx, 1869, pp. 944), thus allowing ...
