Summary:
The Great Recession brought rising inequality and changing family economies. New Technologies continued to move jobs overseas, including those held by middle-class information workers. The first new edition to capture these historic changes, this book is the leading text in the sociology of work and related research fields. Wharton's readings retain the classics but offer a new spectrum of articles accessible to undergraduate students that focus on the changes that will most affect their lives. New to the Fourth Edition, Twenty new readings accessibly address key topics including: Occupational and generational change, New workplace cultures, Discrimination, New information technologies, The global division of labor, The 24/7 economy, The blurring of work and family life, A new introduction and part-ending discussion questions are included. Statistics have been updated throughout. Six of the most-assigned classic articles are retained. This book is ideally suited for courses on the sociology of work, labor, economic sociology, industrial relations, and political sociology.
