Economic and technological changes are creating workplace and labor market upheavals. While new jobs are being rapidly created, many old ones are destroyed. Some new jobs are high-paying, but many are low-paying with little opportunity for advancement.

Occupational social work skills are seen as particularly appropriate for lay-off interventions. |
