Description¶

The monograph proposes that "Characteristics and composition of the labor forceshould be a separate area of study" within industrial arts teacher education. Study would define ages, educational levels, ethnic and racial backgrounds, mobility, sex, and other workforce characteristics, then analyze the distribution of mental and manual skills, changing requirements, seasonal fluctuations, and geography.
