Looking for Work: A History of Unemployment - Miller Center of Public Affairs
Looking for Work: A History of Unemployment - Miller Center of Public Affairs: "The show's theme is 'Looking for Work: A History of Unemployment,' and will explore themes such as joblessness, immigration, and internal migration through three centuries of American life.
Among the central questions for the hour:
* When did the concept of unemployment arise in the first place?
* How did industrialization change our notion of 'the job?'
* Are people more or less attached to their professions than they used to be?
* How has Americans' search for work shaped the American landscape?
* What has it meant for American workers that there are almost always new immigrants willing to work for less?"
