Skilled migrants are key contributors to economic growth in the U.S., but their ability to integrate and thrive depends on how well they balance work with family caregiving responsibilities. Many are part of the “sandwich generation,” caring for both young children and aging parents. Geographer Yining Tan will explore how skilled migrants navigate the dual responsibilities of childcare and eldercare and how this affects economic mobility and gender equity.
About This Book
This booklet discusses the Canadian Industrial Disputes Investigation Act of 1907, which made it illegal to declare a strike or lockout in mines or other public utilities until a full investigation into the merits of the dispute was completed. Topics include procedure under the act, serious strikes in the West, the act as a failure in coal mining, railroads and other public utilities, violations of the act, penalties not enforced, and lessons for the United States. Appendixes provide statistical tables and a bibliography.

The Number and Distribution of Social Workers in the United States
About This Book
This booklet reprints an article from the Proceedings of the Sixtieth Annual Session of the National Conference of Social Work in Detroit in June 1933. The article notes that in 1930, for the first time, the federal census of occupations included in its classification a separate category for social workers. One purpose of the article was to comment on the quality of the data. A second purpose was to present data derived from this first countrywide enumeration concerning the relative number of social workers in different parts of the country in comparison with other professional or near-professional groups.
RALPH G. HURLIN was director of the Department of Statistics of the Russell Sage Foundation.

About This Book
This booklet acknowledges increasing calls for better ways to celebrate Independence Day. It argues that the old forms cannot be eliminated without putting something in their place, such as a program of games, folk dances, songs, and pageants.
