Experiences of White-Collar Job loss and Job-searching in the United States
'Wiley', 2021Co-Authors: Rao, Aliya HamidAbstract:Unemployment is a pervasive and stubborn feature of contemporary social and economic life. This review article focuses on the meaning and experience of contemporary White-Collar unemployment in the United States. After explaining the empirical and theoretical rationales for the focus on White-Collar workers, this review delves into three aspects of White-Collar unemployment: who loses Jobs; what unemployment means for one's sense of self, marital relationships, parent-child relationships; and how the process of Job-searching and re-employment unfold for unemployed White-Collar workers in the US. Throughout, I take an intersectional approach, identifying how sensitivity to structural location in the labor market and the family can augment our sociological understandings of these important issues. I close by suggesting directions for future research

social capital activation and Job searching embedding the use of weak ties in the american institutional context
Work And Occupations, 2014Co-Authors: Ofer SharoneAbstract:By comparing Job seekers’ use of weak ties in Israel and the United States, this article shows that Granovetter’s canonical findings are rooted in the particular institutional context of the American White-Collar labor market. Drawing on in-depth interviews with three distinct groups of White-Collar Job seekers: Americans searching in the United States, Israelis searching in Israel, and Israelis searching in the United States, this article untangles cultural and institutional factors underlying the use of weak ties and shows how labor market institutions and processes of hiring shape systematic variations in Job seekers’ utilization of weak ties.

return to work following injury the role of economic social and Job related factors
American Journal of Public Health, 1998Co-Authors: Ellen J Mackenzie, John A Morris, Gregory J Jurkovich, Yutaka Yasui, Brad M Cushing, Andrew R Burgess, B J Delateur, Mark P Mcandrew, Marc F SwiontkowskiAbstract:OBJECTIVES: This study examined factors influencing return to work (RTW) following severe fracture to a lower extremity. METHODS: This prospective cohort study followed 312 individuals treated for a lower extremity fracture at 3 level-1 trauma centers. Kaplan-Meier estimates of the proportion of RTW were computed, and a Cox proportional hazards model was used to examine the contribution of multiple risk factors on RTW. RESULTS: Cumulative proportions of RTW at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-injury were 0.26, 0.49, 0.60, and 0.72. After accounting for the extent of impairment, characteristics of the patient that correlated with higher rates of RTW included younger age, higher education, higher income, the presence of strong social support, and employment in a White-Collar Job that was not physically demanding. Receipt of disability compensation had a strong negative effect on RTW. CONCLUSIONS: Despite relatively high rates of recovery, one quarter of persons with lower extremity fractures did not return to wo...
