First published in 1919, this book examines the impact of World War I on the American workforce, focusing on issues of labor turnover, productivity, and employee morale. Drawing on extensive data from factories and other workplaces, the author argues that wartime conditions created new opportunities for workers to assert their rights and demand better working conditions. The book remains a valuable resource for scholars of labor history and industrial relations.
