Adjusting Immigrant and Industry

"Adjusting Immigrant and Industry" is a comprehensive sociological and economic study that examines the integration of foreign-born workers into the American industrial framework during the early 20th century. Written by William M. Leiserson, a distinguished expert in labor relations, the book provides a systematic analysis of how the United States labor market and various industries responded to massive waves of migration. It explores the practicalities of the "Americanization" movement through an economic lens, investigating the structural challenges faced by both employers and immigrant employees in the pursuit of industrial stability.

The work delves into critical themes such as labor turnover, vocational training, and the influence of labor unions and private employment agencies on the adjustment process. By documenting the intersection of social policy and industrial management, the text offers invaluable insights into the historical development of workforce stabilization and the socioeconomic forces that shaped the modern American workforce. This work serves as an essential resource for those interested in the history of migration, industrial sociology, and the evolution of labor policy in the United States.
