Abstract
The study presented in this chapter consists of two major components. The first component uses industry-level data and a national sample to analyze the impact of industrial structure on workers in the United States. Industry data were collected from a number of primary sources. The industry data set developed and utilized for this study is the most extensive and up-to-date data set of its kind. This industry data is linked to persons in the March–May match 1973 Current Population Survey (CPS). This sample was chosen because it contains detailed data on employment, hours worked, earnings, and unionization. Of the CPS data available, it is the nearest in time to the second survey utilized in this study—the 1975 Wisconsin survey. The second component of the proposed study relies on the use of enterprise-level data. These data were collected from various published and unpublished sources for the employers of the respondents to the 1975 Wisconsin study, which also included extensive labor force participation information.
