No Room at the Top: Underemployment and Alienation in the Corporation - Hardcover
Review:
?Underemployment is created by the increasing educational attainment of the American labor force in conjunction with the slower growth of the kinds of jobs traditionally held by highly educated workers.... Beverly Burris's study of underemployed clerical workers in a New York service corporation is, so far as I know, the first study of underemployment based on in-depth interviewing rather than survey-based statistical analyses.... Becauseof the richness of her interview data, Burris's book is a major contribution to our understanding of underemployment.... No Room at the Top, with its respect for the experiences of flesh-and-blood human beings, generates more interesting observations, acute analytical points, and worthy hypotheses than any of the more scientifically esteemed variable analyses I have so far read on this important topic.?-Contemporary Sociology
