Journal of Labor and Society
Journal of Labor and Society (formerly Working USA: The Journal of Labor and Society) is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering the political economy of labour, labor movements, and class relations throughout the world. It focuses on the current context and shape of capitalist social relations, business and corporations, labor relations, the working class and the labor unions in the Global South. The journal encourages submissions on the political economy of imperialism, global inequality and poverty, labor and the right wing, and political movements. The journal was established in 1997 and is published by Wiley Periodicals and the editors, Immanuel Ness and Zak Cope. The new title reflects the reconstituted journal's commitment to publishing peer-reviewed scientific research into the social, political, economic, and cultural conditions faced by workers worldwide. Its editorial office is located within the Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. It is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics.
