Abstract: Futurework took an in depth look at what the workforce and workplace would look like a half century from now. It was designed to inform readers-policymakers, scholars, employers, workers, trade unionists, and advocates-to provoke questions and to stimulate dialogue. The report offered insights, based on facts and figures, into the promises and perils of growing globalization, evolving technology, and changing demographics.

Purpose: Alexis M. Herman, Secretary of Labor, asked for a comprehensive view of the world of work, where we have been, where we are today, and where we would find ourselves as we entered the next millennium. The report was the centerpiece of her 1999 Labor Day Message.

Agency Program: This book was compiled and published at the request of the Secretary of Labor as part of the U.S. Department of Labor's mission to prepare the American workforce for new and better jobs, and ensure the adequacy of America's workplaces.
