Your guided tour to America’s employment crisis, the title says it all. Where Did the Jobs Go—and How Do We Get Them Back? is a clear, nonpartisan, surprisingly entertaining look at our nation’s current joblessness mess and how we can get ourselves working again. Written by Scott Bittle and Jean Johnson, authors of the breakout bestseller Where Did the Money Go?, this essential primer addresses the most serious problem facing Americans today with intelligence, refreshing candor, and sparkling wit, enabling voters to separate the facts from the politicians’ hot air and political spin.
Whether it's working for free in exchange for 'experience', enduring poor treatment in the name of being 'part of the family', or clocking serious overtime for a good cause, more and more of us are pushed to make sacrifices for the privilege of being able to do work we enjoy.Work Won't Love You Back examines how we all bought into this 'labour of love' myth: the idea that certain work is not really work, and should be done for the sake of passion rather than pay. Through the lives and experiences of various workers--from the unpaid intern and the overworked teacher, to the nonprofit employee, the domestic worker and even the professional athlete--this compelling book reveals how we've all been tricked into a new tyranny of work.Sarah Jaffe argues that understanding the labour of love trap will empower us to work less and demand what our work is worth. Once freed, we can finally figure out what actually gives us joy, pleasure and satisfaction.
A sobering account of a disenfranchised American working class and important policy solutions to the nation’s economic inequalities One of the country’s leading scholars on economics and social policy, Isabel Sawhill addresses the enormous divisions in American society—economic, cultural, and political—and what might be done to bridge them. Widening inequality and the loss of jobs to trade and technology has left a significant portion of the American workforce disenfranchised and skeptical of governments and corporations alike. And yet both have a role to play in improving the country for all. Sawhill argues for a policy agenda based on mainstream values, such as family, education, and work. While many have lost faith in government programs designed to help them, there are still trusted institutions on both the local and federal level that can deliver better job opportunities and higher wages to those who have been left behind. At the same time, the private sector needs to reexamine how it trains and rewards employees. This book provides a clear-headed and middle-way path to a better-functioning society in which personal responsibility is honored and inclusive capitalism and more broadly shared growth are once more the norm.
The reality of working class contemporary life as it is truly lived and in its raw form, written in the voice of Jean – a woman, wife, daughter, mother, grandmother. There is laughter and sadness, life and death, good neighbours and bad neighbours, hopes and fears. Heartfelt and always kind, Jean triumphs. “If we can’t go out into our garden, then I’ll bring the garden inside.”
Donald Trump has a rich set of solutions for solving the Jobs! problems of today. Solving Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! The Trump Way is a natural for the world's foremost businessman and builder. More Americans are out of work today than any other time since the Great Depression. In fact, many label this period in our history as The Great Recession. The President and the Congress not only are doing nothing, but by spending, spending, and more spending, they are literally chasing more and more jobs away. If Congress would only go home for good, this thing might solve itself. Congress has only made it worse. And the taxes they are putting the economy in another tailspin. On March 21, 2010 while having promised to solve the Jobs problem, Congress passed the biggest government expansion of all time in 2700 pages of legislation. Nancy Pelosi climbed the fence, pole vaulted in, and finally parachuted in with a huge gavel and a huge mouthful of saliva. Her actions made sure that Americans were sickened by the affliction of this health bill. Like most other legislation of the 111th Congress, this too is a jobs killer. Pelosi and her lackeys with the help of Barack Obama and the support of Hillary Clinton in the Senate have done more harm than any five Congresses in the history of the United States. They want you to forget about Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! There are no jobs! The situation is even more bleak as neither the President nor Congress finds the issue worthy enough to discuss. Nobody is working to create jobs in America. Nothing worth having is easy. Would it not be nice to have a capitalist (not Socialist or Marxist) country in which legislators want the people to be employed rather than be dependent on the state? Would it not be nice to have a successful businessman who knows how to make a capitalist society hum be in charge of getting it done for Americans? Where is the help? This book first takes a wary look at the problem, and then an even more wary look at government's downright reluctance to solve the Jobs problem. Following this set of essays the book then turns its attention to some workable solutions to help get US out of the doldrums. It is all doable and it is all explained right here! I hope you enjoy reading this book and that you will remain vigilant and take the actions necessary to ensure that all the people, and not the government in group-think, determine the fate of US workers. Not one person who has lost a job believes that government should ignore their plight. Congress is making life so tough that many unemployed feel they may never get back to work. There is a reason for all this and you can learn it and learn what to do about it by beginning with page 1 of this book. It is time somebody wrote a book like this to help the American People rally around the notion that in a choice between bad government and good jobs, bad government does not stand a chance. Thank you Mr. Trump for all the good ideas!
