The Great Recession brought rising inequality and changing family economies. New technologies continued to move jobs overseas, including those held by middle-class information workers.

Wharton s readings retain the classics but offer a new spectrum of articles accessible to undergraduate students that focus on the changes that will most affect their lives.New to the fourth edition"

Praise for previous editions: “Working in America has been the backbone of my work courses since its publication.

Henson, Loyola University Chicago “[T]he book offers a variety of materials that allow me the flexibility to offer a broad scope and challenging class.” —William T. Clute, University of Nebraska at Omaha
