This timely and important work addresses the controversy
surrounding discouragement among the unemployed. Using an
unprecedented set of national and local studies, and drawing on
disparate research in nearly every social science discipline, the
authors produce an original, highly detailed portrait of
discouraged workers. From their analysis they offer recommendations
on what can be done to promote employment and reduce long-term
dependency on government assistance. Other timely issues discussed
are chronic minority unemployment, worker dislocation through plant
closings, the impact of low wage jobs on reducing poverty, the
"feminization of poverty," the plight of the working poor, and the
importance of the family.
