Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is an investigative report on employment agencies in major U.S. cities, primarily targeting intelligence offices that placed workers for domestic employment during the early 20th century. At a time of social and economic transformation, the author's research sheds light on an industry facing increased demand due to women entering the workforce in growing numbers. The author found these agencies to be a critical but often problematic intermediary, revealing issues of fraud, deceit, and widespread mistreatment of employees by some agencies. It also sheds light on the duality of treatment in these agencies, with employers often treated with courtesy while employees seeking work faced harsh conditions. Despite these problems, the book recognizes the positive role that ethical employment agencies played in connecting employers with workers. By exposing both sides of the industry, the author calls for public awareness, regulatory improvement, and a greater sense of social responsibility to address these problems.
