Summary note
While the economic implications of job insecurity are obvious, you are aware of the far-reaching consequences of precarious work. Beyond the cubicle explorers the hidden ramifications of job insecurity, from strained interpersonal relationships to crises of identity and self-worth. An interdisciplinary group of contributors attend to workers who vary by age, class, race, and gender. The cumulative finding is of powerful impacts to the new ways of organizing work, particularly upon emotions, individualism, and inequality outside the workplace. Beyond mere numbers and figures, the author and her collaborators give voice to the individuals who struggle with job insecurity beyond the walls at the workplace. --Cover.
