Like so many places across the United States, a city that was a centre of blue-collar manufacturing is now dominated by health care, which employs more Americans than any other industry. Gabriel Winant takes us inside the Rust Belt to show how America's cities have weathered new economic realities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs steelworkers and their families grew older, they required more health care. Even as the industrial economy contracted sharply, the care economy thrived. But unlike their blue-collar predecessors, home health aides and hospital staff work unpredictable hours for low pay. Today health care workers—mostly women and people of colour—are on the front lines of our most pressing crises, yet we have been slow to appreciate that they are the face of our twenty-first-century workforce. \u003ci\u003eThe Next Shift\u003c\/i\u003e offers unique insights into how we got here and what could happen next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471816999148,"sku":"9780674292192","price":40.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780674292192-the-next-shift.jpg?v=1775256722"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/gabriel-winant.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
