Описание: In today's new economy--in which "good" jobs are typically knowledge or technology based--many well-educated and culturally savvy young people are instead choosing to pursue traditionally low-status manual labor occupations as careers. Masters of Craft looks at the renaissance of four such trades: bartending, distilling, barbering, and butchering. In this engaging book, Richard Ocejo takes you into the lives and workplaces of these people to examine how they are transforming once-undesirable jobs into "cool" and highly specialized upscale occupations. He shows how they find meaning in these jobs by enacting a set of "cultural repertoires," resulting in a new form of elite taste-making. Focusing on cocktail bartenders, craft distillers, upscale men's barbers, and whole-animal butcher shop workers in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and upstate New York, Masters of Craft provides new insights into the stratification of taste, the spread of gentrification, and the evolving labor market in today's postindustrial city.

Описание: There is a specter haunting advanced industrial countries: structural unemployment.

Описание: The Caribbean has been a part of the demographic transition globally in the increase of the ageing population relative to those of working or youthful years. Advances in health and social welfare have brought into sharp relief the pressures on resources particularly health care. In this groundbreaking collection, professionals across a range of academic and practice disciplines examine and shed light on how the work-life balance intersects with changed productivity thresholds, caregiving for the ageing and how an ageing society might be embraced. Connecting the Dots demonstrates the need to reframe policy and practice across the Caribbean to harness the potential of an ageing population as a new human capital resource. Focusing on the challenges of the contemporary working population; how critical the work of the elderly in the home is in facilitating work-life balance for the working population; and how much of a strain care of the elderly places on achieving work-life balance, the authors establish the need to strike a balance in both attitude and application of policies and procedures which can provide a conducive environment for working men and women to lend support to their ageing relatives while enhancing the agency of the elderly to contribute to their own individual, community and national development. Comprising of 19 chapters divided into 5sections, Connecting the Dots provides a new perspective on ageing and the economic growth potential to be realised from harnessing and tapping into the ‘ageing dividend’

The new volume in the Urban Agenda series addresses the challenges shaping the development of human capital in metropolitan regions. The articles, products of the 2016 Urban Forum at the University of Illinois at Chicago, engage with the overarching idea that a dynamic metropolitan economy needs a diverse, trained, and available workforce that can adapt to the needs of commerce, industry, government, and the service sector. Authors explore provocative issues like the jobless recovery, migration and immigration, K-12 education preparedness, the urban-oriented gig economy, postsecondary workforce training, and the recruitment and professional development of millennials. Contributors: Xochitl Bada, John Bragelman, Laura Dresser, Rudy Faust, Beth Gutelius, Brad Harrington, Gregory V. Larnell, Twyla T. Blackmond Larnell, and Nik Theodore.
