Summary: This book is an effort to make sense of work opportunity as it was in off the job. When we began this project a few years ago, we thought that this would be a straightforward endeavor. First, we intended to discuss the "old economy" and the types of opportunities present when most of the labor force was employed in jobs critical to mass production industrial work. Then we were going to write about the emerging "new economy" and the ways new technologies, new organizations, new jobs, a new workforce, and glob alization are transforming work. Our unique contribution would be to show structural lags, the ways current policies and practices, designed to corre spond with needs in the old economy, fail to address the present-day concerns of working families.
