About this product
Description
- DescriptionHow the Other Half Works solves the riddle of America's contemporary immigration puzzle: why an increasingly high-tech society has use for so many immigrants who lack the basic skills that today's ecomy seems to demand. In clear and engaging style, Waldinger and Lichter isolate the key factors that explain the presence of unskilled immigrants in our midst. Focusing on Los Angeles, the capital of today's immigrant America, this hard-hitting book elucidates the other side of the new ecomy, showing that hiring is finding t so much one's own kind but rather the right kind to fit the demeaning, but indispensable, jobs many American workers disdain.
