Summary:

Here is the first book to discuss the tremendous physical and mental effects of unemployment on the individual and family. The author, a doctor and journalist, draws from a wide range of sources -- historical, medical, psychological, political, and sociological. He reveals how unemployment harms health and describes what is being done now as well as how much more could be done. Dr. Smith also tackles the issue of what the disappearance of employment as we know it may mean for health.
