Over the last three decades, millions of people have slipped through a loophole in the American dream and become downwardly mobile as a result of downsizing, plant closings, mergers, and divorce: the middle-aged computer executive laid off during an industry crisis, blue-collar workers phased out of the post-industrial economy, middle managers whose positions have been phased out, and once-affluent housewives stranded with children and a huge mortgage as the result of divorce. Anthropologist Katherine S. Newman interviewed a wide range of men, women, and children who experienced a precipitous fall from middle-class status, and her book documents their stories. For the 1999 edition, Newman has provided a new preface and updated the extensive data on job loss and downward mobility in the American middle class, documenting its persistence, even in times of prosperity.

    This is a must read for anyone who has been laid off, has friends or family who has been laid off, or is just trying to get a better understanding of employment and career in our world today. I have read this a number of times. It is so powerful and meaningful. This book is one of my favorites EVER. Thank you to the author for writing this gem.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A book all recent (20 yrs) laid off people should read

    This book is clearly telling the truth about why you may feel so bummed out about being laid off AND STAYING OUT OF WORK in spite of being qualified. I had a patch of that in 1975 during a recession. It was just hard to understand with all of the credentials and experience I had. This is one of the books the think tanks and politicians should read before dissing out-of-work people.
