Have you ever been laid off, fired or had your position eliminated? Have you ever sensed your job was at risk. Job uncertainty is the new normal. Be prepared. Whether you have lost a job or not, this book will help you manage your career and navigate through today's insecure workplaces. As Dr. Nancy Koury King reports, twenty-one million people involuntarily lost their jobs in 2015. She spent five years traveling the country and interviewing some of these individuals.

Now, King is sharing their stories with you. If you happen to have lost your job as well, King assures you that you are not alone. If you haven't already, you have the chance now to prepare yourself for the world of job uncertainty. Her work can provide comfort and support as it explores

- the emotional and social impacts of job loss,

- the most effective ways to recover from these bad experiences,
