Project is a small research group concerned with measuring and
explaining movements of inequality in wages and earnings and patterns of
industrial changes around the world. Our work so far has emphasized two
techniques: the use of Theil's T statistic to compute inequality indexes
from industrial data, and a combination of cluster analysis on rates of wage
change and discriminant analysis to isolate the principal time patterns in
changing wage structures.

Labor-Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) is the voluntary
federation of America's unions, representing more than 13 million working

- The International Action Center was
founded in 1992. From the very first day, our underlying motivation has been
the same: Against U.S. imperialism, for people's needs. We look towards a
society free of war, racism, and unemployment; where sexism and the
oppression of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans people are abolished; their
jobs, education and health care are rights and not privileges. We have led
campaigns against the Pentagon wars and sanctions against Iraq, Cuba, and
Yugoslavia. We have supported the Puerto Rican people in their fight to get
the U.S. Navy out of Vieques. In every struggle, we solidarize ourselves
with the most determined opponents of racism war, and colonialism. In the
U.S., the fight against racism, police brutality and the death penalty is
paramount. We have played a leading people in the fight to free Mumia Abu-Jamal
and spearheaded the opposition to Shaka Sankofa's execution.
