Reviews

"A beautifully written, meticulously researched book on one of the most significant challenges of our era: the transformation of the nature of work. Ellen Ruppel Shell moves seamlessly between individual stories and academic scholarship to show how unprepared we are for the impact of digital technologies and new business models on our jobs. But this is far from a pessimistic account. Running through her account is also a hopefulness that our collective imagination and capacity for institutional innovation will prove up to the challenge eventually." -Dr. Dani Rodrik, Ford Foundation Professor of International Political Economy at Harvard's Kennedy School, President Elect of the International Economic Association "At once deeply researched and richly imaginative, Ellen Ruppel Shell's marvelous new book follows her quest to discover brave new worlds, where people create good work for themselves rather than just filling jobs. Compelling, and with sometimes heartrending detail, her explorations provide a deeply insightful map of the present and an uplifting and realistic compass for the future." -Dr. Rosalind Williams, Dibner Professor of the History of Science and Technology at MIT and author of The Triumph of Human Empire "Ellen Ruppel Shell uses her extraordinary narrative skills and vision to explore the importance of work in our lives, not simply as a way to make money, but also as a way to achieve purpose and belonging. She convincingly shows how a range of forces such as technological innovation, global competition and institutional changes are increasingly undermining the ability of many workers to find work that that can play these roles. As an economist who has studied these forces with a focus on income and wealth, this book has opened my eyes to the far broader implications of the issues I am dealing with. Read this book. You will never think about jobs in the same way again." -Dr. Robert Lawrence, Albert L. Williams Professor of International Trade and Investment, Harvard Kennedy School "A masterful book about the fundamental role of work in our lives: why it matters, why it's broken, and how we can fix it." -Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of GIVE AND TAKE , ORIGINALS , and OPTION B with Sheryl Sandberg

Synopsis

Critically acclaimed journalist Ellen Ruppel Shell uncovers the true cost--political, economic, social, and personal--of America's mounting anxiety over jobs, and what we can do to regain control over our working lives. Since 1973, our productivity has grown almost six times faster than our wages. Most of us rank so far below the top earners in the country that the "winners" might as well inhabit another planet. But work is about much more than earning a living. Work gives us our identity, and a sense of purpose and place in this world. And yet, work as we know it is under siege. Through exhaustive reporting and keen analysis, The Job reveals the startling truths and unveils the pervasive myths that have colored our thinking on one of the most urgent issues of our day: how to build good work in a globalized and digitalized world where middle class jobs seem to be slipping away. Traveling from deep in Appalachia to the heart of the Midwestern rust belt, from a struggling custom clothing maker in Massachusetts to a thriving co-working center in Minnesota, she marshals evidence from a wide range of disciplines to show how our educational system, our politics, and our very sense of self have been held captive to and distorted by outdated notions of what it means to get and keep a good job. We read stories of sausage makers, firefighters, zookeepers, hospital cleaners; we hear from economists, computer scientists, psychologists, and historians. The book's four sections take us from the challenges we face in scoring a good job today to work's infinite possibilities in the future. Work, in all its richness, complexity, rewards and pain, is essential for people to flourish. Ellen Ruppel Shell paints a compelling portrait of where we stand today, and points to a promising and hopeful way forward.
