The Great Jobs Deception is based on a doctoral dissertation study of underemployment among professionals in STEM, health care, legal and academic occupations. Underemployment of highly educated and skilled individuals represents a waste of human capital both for the individual and for society as a whole. Yet, our unemployment statistics are not capturing what is happening in the job market–and the threat it presents for economic progress and civil society.

Learn the lost history and real meaning of Labor Day. Why do Americans celebrate Labor Day in September instead of May, as nearly every other nation does? While Memorial Day and Fourth of July celebrate military service and victories of war, we tend to associate Labor Day with back-to-school shopping and backyard barbeques. Yet the war against workers continues today, although it has taken more seemingly innocuous form.

What has your experience been with the job market? Short, ten-question survey asks about money, security, time, agency, purposefulness, and general quality of work-life issues.
