In American Idle, sociologists Annette Nierobisz and Dana Sawchuk report their findings from interviews with 62 mostly white-collar workers who experienced late-career job loss in the wake of the Great Recession. Without the benefits of planned retirement or time horizons favorable to recouping their losses, these employees experience an array of outcomes, from hard falls to soft landings.
