Know about the book -

The Political Failure of Employment Policy, 1945-1982 is written by Gary Mucciaroni and published by Pittsburgh, Pa. : University of Pittsburgh Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0822936488 (ISBN 10) and 9780822936480 (ISBN 13).

This book follows the impact of economic ideas and opinions on federal employment policy from the 1946 Employment Act to the Job Training Partnership Act of 1982. Among many factors, Mucciaroni traces policy failures to the fact that labor and management were not centrally involved in making policy, and employment programs lacked a stable and organized constituency committed to their success. Additionally, employment programs were not integrated with economic policy, were hampered by conflicting objectives, and were difficult to carry out effectively.
