This is a book about how people get jobs (or not) and employers get
workers (or not). In other words, it is a book about something that
matters to almost everyone. Most of us are involved in labour markets
several times in our lives, and some of us are involved a great many
more times than this. What happens there is very important for all of
us: it affects our incomes, our happiness and health, even our life
expectancies.
