Community Wage Patterns offers an insightful analysis into the dynamics of wage levels and structures within Los Angeles County, providing a case study that extends its relevance to broader economic contexts. Authored by Professor Pierson and published by the Institute of Industrial Relations, the monograph critically examines economic theories of wage determination against the realities of wage behavior in a major metropolitan area. Beginning with an exploration of factors influencing community wage levels, the book traverses the early wage history of Los Angeles, progresses through the transformative 1940s, and delves into the pivotal forces shaping wage patterns.
While focused on Los Angeles, the study integrates comparative insights from other regions and the national landscape, uncovering universal patterns in wage behavior. Key conclusions highlight the interplay of regional characteristics—such as resources, climate, and infrastructure—and broader economic forces, showing that wages in diverse industries and areas often align within a cohesive, overarching structure. The findings underscore how regional prosperity, economic shifts, and local business conditions influence both immediate wage fluctuations and long-term patterns, making this work an essential resource for understanding wage dynamics in large urban centers.
This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1953.
