Økonomi & Business
Vanishing Workers examines how AI, automation, and industrial restructuring are eroding stable middle-class work in America--and why that shift matters far beyond the paycheck. Drawing on the changing realities of factories, warehouses, hospitals, and back offices, Nathaniel Crowe shows how work that once offered dignity, predictability, and a path to mobility has become more fragmented, more precarious, and less rewarding. The book explains why productivity gains no longer reliably translate into broad wage growth, how market concentration can suppress pay and job quality, and why subcontracting, temp work, and gig platforms weaken labor standards. With a clear journalistic voice, it connects the economics of automation to the social costs of lost stability: weaker family formation, reduced civic participation, and a fraying sense of status and belonging. For readers seeking to understand the forces hollowing out the American middle class, this is a timely and sobering account of what has changed--and what choices could still shape a more stable economic future.
