Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Losing a job should not mean losing your direction, identity, and future-but America's unemployment system was never designed to help workers navigate lasting economic change.Rebuilding the Ladder: From Unemployment to Reemployment in 21st-Century America presents a practical case for replacing a passive, Depression-era safety net with a modern system that actively guides displaced workers back into meaningful employment.Today, job loss is often more than a temporary interruption. Automation, artificial intelligence, outsourcing, industry decline, and changing skill requirements can eliminate entire career paths. Yet the current system still relies primarily on temporary benefit checks, outdated job portals, fragmented training programs, and workers finding their own way through an increasingly complicated labor market.People facing unemployment do not need only a check. They need a path forward.John S. Pritchett examines the financial, psychological, and civic consequences of prolonged unemployment. Workers can lose savings, retirement security, professional connections, confidence, and a sense of belonging. Communities suffer as joblessness weakens local economies, increases alienation, and erodes trust in public institutions.Drawing lessons from Denmark, Germany, Singapore, and successful American workforce initiatives, the book proposes a new Reemployment Compact for America built around four central supports: - Flexible reemployment accounts for training, certification, relocation, childcare, and other transition expenses- Modern career-navigation centers combining human coaching with current labor-market information- Wage insurance to help experienced workers accept new positions without suffering an immediate financial collapse- Rapid, employer-aligned training programs connected directly to real hiring opportunitiesThe book also outlines a phased roadmap for implementation, including modernized state systems, portable career records, employer transition plans, regional workforce partnerships, community-college training hubs, and a permanent national funding structure.The goal is not to promise that every job can be preserved. It is to ensure that every worker has a realistic opportunity to move forward when the economy changes.Accessible, compassionate, and policy-focused, Rebuilding the Ladder is written for workers, employers, educators, workforce professionals, policymakers, and anyone concerned about the future of work in an age of accelerating disruption.We do not owe every worker permanence-but we do owe them possibility, guidance, and a way back up.…
