Seasonal Trades

More about the book

Originally published in 1910, this book provides a detailed analysis of the seasonal nature of employment in Britain. The authors, Arnold Freeman and Sidney Webb, were both prominent economists and social reformers who were influential in the development of the British welfare state. In this book, they describe the cyclical patterns of employment in various industries, and propose policy solutions for stabilizing the labor market. They also highlight the experiences of workers in seasonal trades, such as agriculture and tourism.
