Author Ofer Sharone will present findings from his new book, The Stigma Trap: College-Educated, Experienced, and Long-Term Unemployed, which is an eye-opening look at how all American workers, even the highly educated and experienced, are vulnerable to the stigma of unemployment. The Stigma Trap is essential reading for anyone who has experienced unemployment, has a family member or friend who is unemployed or wants to understand the forces that underlie the anxiety-filled lives of contemporary American workers. The book offers a unique approach to supporting unemployed jobseekers. At a broader level, it exposes the precarious condition of American workers and sparks a conversation about much-needed policies to assure that we are not all one layoff away from being trapped by stigma.
