Chapter 4 in Occupation and Pay in Great Britain 1906–79, 1980, pp 181-220 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We have now tracked movements in pay and employment over nearly three-quarters of a century, not year-by-year but at intervals of ten or twenty years. But we have also produced evidence indicating the course of the variables in the years in between, and, since 1970, we have annual data of occupational earnings, unemployment and job vacancies. There are, too, a number of theories that purport to explain movements in employment and pay, and it will be our task in this chapter to see how well they fit the empirical data, and finally, to present an explanatory hypothesis for further testing.
