Springer Studies in Work and Industry: Hard Times and Vulnerable People

Broman, Clifford L.; Hamilton, V. Lee; Hoffman, William S.

Employing both large-scale surveys and in-depth interviews, the authors document the mental health effects on workers caused by the closure of four General Motor plants. They paint a portrait of how the social context in which these workers lived played a critical role in their experiences of unemployment or of keeping their jobs when others around them lost theirs. More than simply a study of unemployment and mental health, this book is also a story of coping and resilience.
