The book delves into the history and impact of layoffs in America, tracing their origins to the mid-1970s and highlighting their psychological toll on individuals across various income levels. Through case studies of companies like Stanley Works and Citigroup, Uchitelle argues that layoffs often hinder long-term efficiency and profitability. He contends that while a competitive economy may necessitate workforce adjustments, there are viable government policy solutions to help companies minimize layoffs and foster job creation, ultimately benefiting both workers and the economy.
