LMI Reader LogoExecutive Summary
By: Fay Walther


This reader is an up-to-date publication of Wyoming LMI which uses practical examples of relevant research to illustrate important LMI concepts. Originally this conclusion summarized the individual sections of the reader but, since each section is relatively short, this proved to a large extent to be redundant. Instead it is recommended that one view this publication as an initial attempt to introduce professionals who are new to the field to the important concepts and research in LMI.

In any new endeavor, it is important to actively seek feedback from our customers as to how they are using this information and to request any changes which they feel may improve the content or style. Individuals are also highly encouraged to further use information from other cited sources which may be of special interest to them. This reader is an introductory to a field which for many practitioners and some researchers may be relatively new.

A person may reflect upon some of the articles, such as the one on labor market segmentation by gender, and recognize that some of this original research has been published in other sources. Some of this information has sparked lively interest and debate in the media and was presented in feature articles in the press. We wanted to acknowledge this credit. This reader is intended to spark the interest of our customers in LMI and to encourage further applied research. It raises some important questions and provides a quantitative basis for a data oriented discussion of issues in employment, economics, and organizational psychology.
