The Rise of Steady Work

Excerpted from The Disposable American; Layoffs and Their Consequences By Louis Uchitelle When I was young, job security was tangible, so tangible that it could be conferred on people, and it was. My turn came in September 1957. I had been hired four months earlier by the Associated Press as a probationary reporter and sent to the New Haven, Connecticut, bureau to fill in for regulars away on vacation.
