There Go I --Appendix: Research Methods and Policy Details --Notes --IndexYears after the Great Recession, the economy is still weak, and an unprecedented number of workers have sunk into long spells of unemployment. Cut Loose provides a vivid and moving account of the experiences of some of these men and women, through the example of a historically important group: autoworkers. Their well-paid jobs on the assembly lines built a strong middle class in the decades after World War II. But today, they find themselves beleaguered in a changed economy of greater inequality and risk, one that favors the well-educated-or well-connected. Their declining fortunes in recent decades tell us something about what the white-collar workforce should expect to see in the years ahead, as job-killing technologies and the shipping of work overseas take away even more good jobs.  Cut Loose offers a poignant look at how the long-term unemployed struggle in today's unfair economy to support their families, rebuild their lives, and overcome the shame and self-blame they deal with on a daily basis. It is also a call to action-a blueprint for a new kind of politics, one that offers a measure of grace in a society of ruthless advancement.UnemployedUnited StatesUnemployedCanadaAutomobile industry workersUnited StatesCase studiesAutomobile industry workersCanadaCase studiesUnited StatesEconomic conditionsCanadaEconomic conditionsUnited StatesSocial conditionsCanadaSocial conditions21st century american economy.american auto industry.american economy.american history.auto industry.autoworkers.business.call to action.car industry.class inequality.depressed economy.economic concerns.economy.ethics.factory work.great recession.historical.income inequality.industrial economic relations.job killing technology.labor policy.labor.laid off workers.middle class.morality.political.politics.sociology.technology.unemployment.work overseas.worker.working class.UnemployedUnemployedAutomobile industry workersAutomobile industry workers331.13/70973Chen Victor Tan1976-1531506MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788104503321Cut loose3777226UNINA
