Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life of Henry K. Oliver, an American who played a pivotal role in the establishment of labor statistics in the United States. As the first Chief of the Bureau of Statistics of Labor, Oliver laid the foundation for the bureau's mission to investigate and report on the conditions of the working class. Through his work, he raised awareness about issues such as child labor, factory conditions, and the impact of industrialization on the lives of laborers. The book explores Oliver's motivations, his methods, and the challenges he faced in navigating the complex landscape of industrial relations in the 19th century. His efforts not only shaped the field of labor economics but also contributed to the broader struggle for workers' rights and social justice.
