Presented with engaging vignettes and rich data, this fourth edition shows the reader how the "old economy" is now operating within the "new economy" and how that integration shapes the development of work opportunities. Authors Stephen Sweet and Peter Meiksins use an international comparative perspective, revealing the historical transformations of work and identifying the profound effects that these changes have had on lives, jobs, and life chances. This text supports the reader's understanding of the origins of current problems confronting working people in the new economy, and contributes to a much-needed dialogue about the strategies for liberating workers from poverty, drudgery, discrimination, stress, and exploitation"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Technological innovations $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Labor market $z United States. 650 0 $a High technology industries $z United States. 650 0 $a Hours of labor $z United States. 650 0 $a Industrial relations $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic conditions $y 21st century. 650 0 $a Globalization. 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Globalization. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00943532 650 7 $a High technology industries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00956428 650 7 $a Hours of labor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00961863 650 7 $a Industrial relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00971609 650 7 $a Labor market. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00990036 650 7 $a Technological innovations $x Economic aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01145010 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 2000-2099 $2 fast 700 1 $a Meiksins, Peter, $d 1953- $e author. 830 0 $a Sociology for a new century. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317015131.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=337BB38486E611EB80D4A9DB35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
