NOT WORKING - WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD JOBS GONE...

Relying on unemployment numbers is a dangerous way to gauge how the labor market is doing.
Because of a false sense of optimism prior to the COVID-19 shock  the working world was more
vulnerable than it should have been. Not Working is about how people want full-time work at a
decent wage and how the plight of the underemployed contributes to widespread despair  a
worsening drug epidemic  and the unchecked rise of right-wing populism. David Blanchflower
explains why the economy since the Great Recession is vastly different from what came before 
and calls out our leaders for their continued failure to address one of the most unacknowledged
social catastrophes of our time. This revelatory and outspoken book is his candid report on how
the young and the less skilled are among the worst casualties of underemployment  how
immigrants are taking the blame  and how the epidemic of unhappiness and self-destruction will
continue to spread unless we deal with it.
