Journal of Labor and Society
Established in 1997, the Journal of Labor and Society, formerly Working USA: the Journal of Labor and Society is a scholarly, peer-reviewed journal published by Brill. It offers a broad exploration of the economic, political, and social dimensions of work and labor throughout the world. The journal publishes articles directed to an open and critical analysis of the global and U.S. labor movements, organizations, and the working class.
The journal endeavors to promote thoughtful and penetrating analysis of the historical, contemporary, and future prospects of workers that advance beyond the narrow goals of individuals. To this end, it focuses on the current context and shape of capitalist social relations, business and corporations, labor relations, the working class, and labor unions. The journal editors see a strong and robust labor movement as a force that is central to the immediate and long-term social, economic, and political interests of the working class.
The Graduate Center for Worker Education hosts the editorial offices of the journal and its editor-in-chief, Professor Immanuel Ness.
