Bait and Switch The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream
Ehrenreich, Barbara
Metropolitan Books 0805076069 / 9780805076066
2005
Hardcover
Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
1.1 x 8.4 x 5.5 Inches; 256 pages; Barbara Ehrenreich+s Nickel and Dimed explored the lives of low-wage workers. Now, in Bait and Switch, she enters another hidden realm of the economy: the shadowy world of the white-collar unemployed. Armed with a plausible rŽsumŽ of a professional -in transition,+ she attempts to land a middle-class job-undergoing career coaching and personality testing, then trawling a series of EST-like boot camps, job fairs, networking events, and evangelical job-search ministries. She gets an image makeover, works to project a winning attitude, yet is proselytized, scammed, lectured, and-again and again-rejected.Bait and Switch highlights the people who+ve done everything right-gotten college degrees, developed marketable skills, and built up impressive rŽsumŽs-yet have become repeatedly vulnerable to financial disaster, and not simply due to the vagaries of the business cycle. Today+s ultra-lean corporations take pride in shedding their -surplus+ employees-plunging them, for months or years at a stretch, into the twilight zone of white-collar unemployment, where job searching becomes a full-time job in itself. As Ehrenreich discovers, there are few social supports for these newly disposable workers-and little security even for those who have jobs. Like the now classic Nickel and Dimed, Bait and Switch is alternately hilarious and tragic, a searing exposŽ of economic cruelty where we least expect it.
