  1. Getting a Job: A Study of Contacts and Careers by Mark Granovetter The Science Of Labor Markets This classic study of how 282 men in the United States found their jobs not only proves its not what you know but who you know, but also demonstrates how social activity influences labor markets. Examining the link between job contacts and social structure, Granovetter recognizes networking as the crucial link between economists studies of labor mobility and more focused studies of an individuals motivation to find work. This second edition is updated with a new Afterword and includes Granovetters influential article Economic Action and Social Structure: The Problems of Embeddedness. Personal Review: Getting a Job: A Study of Contacts and Careers by Mark Granovetter Mark Granovetter reveals how people make economic decisions and take economic actions based on the social structure they are embedded in. We
  2. are not totally rational beings as the old economists would have us believe -- we are social beings -- influenced by, and influencing those around us. It is how we vote, how we dress, how we think, what careers we pursue and what products we buy. Yet, those immediately around us may not be very useful in helping us find a job! Our close associates know what we know at the same time we know it! Therefore, they are not very useful for telling us something new -- like where a job opening is. To find out about jobs, we don't already know about, we need to go outside of our immediate social circle to connect to people we don't see very often any more[old friends, college chums, old army buddies, former co-workers, old sorority sisters]. They now live in different social circles than we do. These social circles have information not available in our social circle -- some of the info is about job openings.This classic book is still highly relevant and useful after 30 years! The book is somewhat `academic' in parts, but is so full of `gems' that it is worth slogging through the research numbers. Every college graduate should read this book and keep it handy till they retire.
