A timely, eyeopening account from an awardwinning reporter that reveals how layoffs in America are counterproductive and what companies can do to avoid them and help create jobs, benefiting workers, corporations, and the nation as a whole.Effectively wrecks the claim that all this downsizing makes the country more productive, more competitive, more flexible. A strong case that the whole middle class is at risk. The New York TimesLayoffs have become a fact of life in todays economy; initiated in the mid 1970s, they are now widely expected, and even accepted. It doesnt have to be that way.In The Disposable American, Louis Uchitelle offers an eyeopening account of layoffs in Americahow they started, their questionable necessity, and their devastating psychological impact on individuals at all income levels. Through portraits of both executives and workers at companies such as Stanley Works, United Airlines, and Citigroup, Uchitelle shows how layoffs are in fact counterproductive, rarely promoting efficiency or profitability in the long term. Recognizing that a global competitive economy makes tightening necessary, Uchitelle offers specific recommendations for government policies that would encourage companies to avoid layoffs and help create jobs.
