{{Main article|Labor history of the United States}}
Labor history in the United States is primarily based in history departments, with occasional representation inside labor unions. The scholarship deals with the institutional history of labor unions and the social history of workers. In recent years there's been special attention to historically marginal groups, especially blacks, women, Hispanics and Asians.<ref>Daniel J. Walkowitz and Donna T. Haverty-Stacke, eds.
