After the Great Depression and during World War II, leaders in business, industry, labor, government, and education recognized the growing need for a new kind of school where people could become skilled in dealing with the volatile issues of the changing American workplace. They also recognized that Cornell's double heritage-its creative synthesis of the rigorous intellectual tradition of the Ivy League and the democratic spirit of the great state schools- made it the ideal home for such a college. In 1945 Cornell's School of Industrial and Labor Relations admitted its first students. Today it remains the nation's only institution offering a full four-year undergraduate program in industrial and labor relations; in addition, it offers several graduate degree programs. Its research focuses on some of the most important workplace issues: protecting jobs, increasing productivity, computerization, worker participation, expanding and declining labor markets, and decision making methods in human resources.

JOURNALS INCLUDED IN JSTOR:

Industrial and Labor Relations Review

The Industrial and Labor Relations Review is a quarterly journal that, since 1947, has published articles and book reviews on all aspects of the employment relationship. The broad scope represented by that focus has ensured the journal's continuing relevance despite seismic shifts in the field. In 1985-86, 55% of our articles were, in one way or another, concerned with collective bargaining; fifteen years later, that proportion had dropped to about 15%. Conversely, organizational behavior, human resource management, workplace safety, and income security together claimed only about 12% of our content in 1985-86, compared to 45% in 1998-2001. Also gaining in importance have been international and comparative studies. One area in which we have enjoyed consistent strength over the years is labor economics, a category into which some 25% of our articles fall. Our articles are edited with the aim of making their findings and conclusions intelligible to all readers.
