Download or read book The Impact of Labor Standards on Restaurant Business Practices in Boston MA written by Rachel Anne Meketon and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My research seeks to understand the impact of labor standards, or labor regulations, on restaurant business practices. I replicated a survey of full-service restaurants in Boston that was originally administered by T. William Lester in the Research Triangle Park and San Francisco (2016). The survey asked restaurant employers how they recruit, retain, and compensate employees and, particularly, servers and cooks. I hypothesized that, following the theory of dynamic monopsony, wage variation and "high road" practices among restaurants in Boston, with middling labor standards, would fall somewhere between the Research Triangle, with no locally-enacted labor standards, and San Francisco, with the highest labor standards in the country. For servers, I found that wage variation in Boston was similar to the Research Triangle likely because both regions have a tipped minimum wage that is lower than the regular minimum wage. For cooks, the wage variation could not be explained by dynamic monopsony. At the time of study, Boston had the highest regular minimum wage, but it had more variation in wages and a much higher average wage than the other regions. My results can likely be explained by labor supply. A linear regression found that, at a 99% confidence level, restaurants that could easily hire cooks paid $2.33 more than restaurants that had difficulty hiring cooks, which suggests that some restaurants offer higher wages to fill positions and retain workers. I also found that a substantial portion of restaurants (40%) follow high road practices, but there are discrepancies between my data and a recent survey of Boston area restaurant employees (Reyes and Rodriguez 2016a). Ultimately, I recommend that the City of Boston or an appropriate intermediary craft a career ladder strategy for current restaurant workers and city residents in collaboration with local businesses that ensures that the businesses will offer high quality jobs to newly-trained employees.

Download or read book Are Affirmative Action Hires Less Qualified written by Harry J. Holzer and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this paper we use micro-level data on employers and employees to investigate whether Affirmative Action procedures lead firms to hire minority or female employees who are less qualified than workers who might otherwise be hired. Our measures of qualifications include the educational attainment of the workers hired (both absolutely and relative to job requirements), skill requirements of the job into which they are hired, and a variety of outcome measures that are presumably related to worker performance on the job. The analysis is based on a representative sample of over 3,200 employers in four major metropolitan areas in the U.S. Our results show some evidence of lower educational qualifications among blacks and Hispanics hired under Affirmative Action, but not among white women. Further, our results show little evidence of substantially weaker job performance among most groups of minority and female Affirmative Action hires.

Download or read book The Economics of World War I written by Stephen Broadberry and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-09-29 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique volume offers a definitive new history of European economies at war from 1914 to 1918. It studies how European economies mobilised for war, how existing economic institutions stood up under the strain, how economic development influenced outcomes and how wartime experience influenced post-war economic growth. Leading international experts provide the first systematic comparison of economies at war between 1914 and 1918 based on the best available data for Britain, Germany, France, Russia, the USA, Italy, Turkey, Austria-Hungary and the Netherlands. The editors' overview draws some stark lessons about the role of economic development, the importance of markets and the damage done by nationalism and protectionism. A companion volume to the acclaimed The Economics of World War II, this is a major contribution to our understanding of total war.
