Jobs: Not What They Used to Be—The New Face of Work in America

This program examines some fundamental and perhaps transforming changes occurring with jobs and work in America. As American business is going through reorganization and downsizing, many questions emerge. Where will the jobs be? Who will be working? What will the workplace be like? What skills will be needed? Program host and award-winning journalist Hodding Carter, along with economic experts Richard Florida and Jeremy Rifkin, provides the commentary as the program takes a look at companies such as Johnson Controls, Konica, BMW, Home Depot, and IDEO—all businesses that stress teamwork, high technology, and inventive ways of organizing their businesses. The program highlights each company’s philosophies, work environments, and training, and speaks with both workers and corporate CEOs. (57 minutes)
