January 2009
The January 2009 online edition of Perspectives on Labour and Income, released today, features two items.
The article "Age and earnings" examines the earnings of older workers to see whether they decline before retirement. Traditional age-earnings profiles show increases in earnings in the early years, and a peak around middle age followed by a decline.
The second feature is an update on minimum wage rates and workers in 2008.
The January 2009 online edition of Perspectives on Labour and Income, Vol. 10, no. 1 (75-001-XWE, free), is now available from the Publications module of our website.
