Content:
The majority of American workers experience unemployment, and millions get trapped in devastating long-term unemployment. Drawing on interviews with unemployed workers, job recruiters, and career coaches, The Stigma Trap explains how the stigma of unemployment can render past educational and professional achievements irrelevant, leaving all American workers--including the most highly educated--vulnerable to getting trapped in unemployment. Eye-opening and clearly written, The Stigma Trap is essential reading for anyone who has experienced unemployment, has a family member or friend who is unemployed, or who wants to understand the forces that underlie the anxiety-filled lives of contemporary American workers
