      abstract = {"Inspired by Studs Terkel's Working and by James Agee and  Walker Evans' Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, DW Gibson set  off on a journey across the United States to interview  Americans who have lost their jobs. Here is the mortgage  broker who arrived at work to find the door to his office  building padlocked, the human resources executive who laid  off a couple hundred people before being laid off herself,  the husband who was laid off two weeks after his wife  learned she was pregnant, the wife who was forced to lay  off her husband. In telling the stories of people who could  be our neighbors, our friends, our relatives, Not Working  holds up a mirror to our times, showing us the individuals  behind the unemployment statistics--their fears and  hopes--and offering a map for navigating our changing  economy. With an extraordinary mix of pathos, anger,  solidarity, and humor, it brings clarity--and humanity--to  the national conversation."--P. [4] of cover.},
