Description
"The nature of work in the United States is changing dramatically, as new technologies, a global economy, and more demanding investors combine to create a far more competitive marketplace. Corporate efforts to respond to these new challenges have yielded mixed results. Headlines about instant millionaires and innovative "e-businesses" mingle with coverage of increasing job insecurity and record wage gaps between upper management and hourly workers. A Working Nation tracks the profound implications the changing workplace has had for all workers and shows who the real economic winners and losers have been in the past twenty-five years.". "A Working Nation sorts fact from fiction about the new relationship between workers and firms, and addresses several critical issues. Who are the real winners and losers in this economy? Has the relationship between workers and firms really been transformed? How have employees become more integrated into - or disconnected from - corporate strategies and performance? Should government step into this new economic reality and how should it intervene?"--BOOK JACKET.
