Like its 1994 predecessor, the 1995 report addresses the issues of labor market trends, the structure of earnings, and working conditions, but from different perspectives than in the first report. The report was prepared by Bureau of Labor Statistics staff. The chapter on labor market trends focuses on employment relationships in a changing economy. Information from a recent survey on contingent workers and workers in indirect or alternative employment arrangements is further explored. The analysis incorporates three estimates of the contingent workforce based on how long the worker has been with the current employer, how long the worker expects to remain, and whether the person is self-employed, an independent contractor, or a wage and salary worker and explores the characteristics of these workers. Another section of the chapter brings together research on subjects that are used to gauge employment stability, such as job tenure, retention rates, and job changing. The second chapter in the 1995 report examines trends in the well-being of families by looking at family incomes and consumption expenditures, rather than earnings. One important aspect of the analysis is the attempt to consider the effect of family size on these data. The chapter also considers the well-being of a specific group at the lower end of the distributions, families that are "working poor." The first sections of the chapter describe the overall distribution of incomes, document the trends in average incomes and inequality of incomes, and explore the possible effects that changes in the demographic makeup of families have had on these trends. The latter sections of the 2 chapter examine trends in expenditures of families to provide another perspective on changes in their well-being. The chapter on working conditions addresses health care - and the workplace. It explores three basic questions: How have employer health care costs changed in recent years; what are the current patterns in employer health care benefit coverage and expenditures; and what effect, if any, do health care benefits have on employee mobility? The 1995 "Report on the American Workforce," U.S. Department of Labor, is available for $9.00 from the Superintendent of Documents, Mail Stop: SSOP, Washington, DC 20402-9328. ### NOTE TO EDITORS: A limited number of single copies of the report are available on request.
