The Journal of Labor History is an authoritative publication in the field of labor history research, known for its universal methodology and interdisciplinary research perspective. This journal not only provides a platform for labor historians to publish research results, but also covers the work of scholars from multiple disciplines such as labor relations, labor economics, political science, sociology, social movement theory, and business research, reflecting the diversity and complexity of labor issue research.

The methodology of the magazine is universal, which means it not only focuses on the labor history of specific countries or regions, but also has a global perspective, covering labor issues from the United States to other parts of the world. This global focus helps to reveal the commonalities and differences in labor history across different regions, promoting a deeper understanding of international labor movements and labor issues.
