C. Jeffrey Waddoups, Ph.D.Associate Professor |
 |
Jeff Waddoups received B.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Utah in Economics with specializations in labor economics and industrial relations. In 1989 he joined the economics department at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas where he has taught courses in labor economics, industrial relations, statistics, and macroeconomics. His recent research has focused on how labor market reforms in Australia have affected union-nonunion wage differentials and outcomes in casual labor markets. He has also studied and documented subsidies of low-wage contractors through the use of uncompensated health care at public hospitals. In addition several recent articles examine the impact of collective bargaining on wages and working conditions in the hotel-casino industry. |
