The Disposable American: Layoffs and Their… by Louis Uchitelle

After listening to a podcast by the author, I promptly bought a copy of this book. Having been through several layoffs, I relate at a very emotional level to the negative impact that it can have. I felt like this is one area where I can agree with Carol's dad.

It is a complex enough problem that I was concerned about the side effects of his proposed solutions.
