Product Description
Technological advances and the changing economic order are dramatically transforming the American workplace. American Jobs and The Changing Industrial Base details new patterns of trade, productivity, and industrial realignment in an effort to asses the future structure of U.S. employment. The broad economic implications of the Information Age have been well documented. Less clear is whether the American labor force will gain or lose as U.S. business and industry breaks with its past. This book supplies perspectives missing in current analyses: where the new jobs will be found, how they will be structured and who will fill them. From worker displacement, encroaching automation, and depressed labor income, to the erosion of middle-level management opportunities, this book argues that economic and technological transition need not exact a toll on job markets, and sets forth constructive approaches to maintaining a secure and stable labor force in the coming decades. ...

Excerpt: Madeline Catherine English (February 22, 1925 - August 21, 2004) was a third basewoman who played from 1943 through 1951 in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League. Listed at 5' 4", 130 lb., English batted and threw right-handed. At age eighteen, she became one of the youngest founding member of the league. English played all nine of her AAGPBL seasons with the Racine Belles. She anchored third base for the Belles and usually batted second in the batting order. A three-time All-Star, she helped the Belles win three pennants and two championships in the AAGPBL, by combining a sharp defense, opportune hitting, and a flashy base running. A natural teacher who cared most about being on a baseball diamond, she excelled as an educator, teaching a variety of subjects for over 30 years after retiring from baseball. A native of Everett, Massachusetts, English was the daughter of Ambrose Tobias English, a pipe-fitter and longtime Everett city official, and Anna (née Henneberry) English. Her older brother, Edward, was a high school star third baseman who saw his professional baseball dreams truncated by military service during wartime. She attended parochial grammar schools and graduated from Everett High School, and was a competent athlete in any sport she could find to play. Although there were no organized girls interscholastic sports, English began participating in pickup softball games at age ten on Boston area playgrounds. In 1939 she joined a Massachusetts 14-year-old softball team, which competed against opponents from Connecticut and New York in summer exhibitions.
