Why Working Life Has Changed

The World

In an age of austerity, high unemployment, and street protests that focus on the harsh economic realities of the present day, there’s a sense that the world of secure employment and jobs with good benefits are a thing of the past.

Marco Werman talks to Andrew Ross, professor of Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University, about how, why and where the world of work has been changing.

Ross is the author of “Nice Work If You Can Get It: Life and Labor in Precarious Times”
