Poignant true stories of resilience, determination, and the search
for fulfillment
Inspired by Studs Terkel's "Working" and by James Agee and Walker
Evans' "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men," DW Gibson sets 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.
