Question: Barbara Ehrenreich writes, "Now when politicians invoke "the working class," they are likely to gesture, anachronistically, to an abandoned factory. They might more accurately use a hospital or a fast-food restaurant as a prop. The new working class ... are more likely to wield mops than hammers, and bedpans rather than trowels (16)." But, on December 21, 2016, the White House Office of the Press Secretary released a report that claimed, "After a decade of decline from 2000 to 2009, the U.S. manufacturing sector has added over 800,000 jobs since early 2010. Despite recent headwinds, the foundation for U.S. manufacturing is stronger than it has been in decades (1)." mops than hammers, and bedpans rather than trowels (16)."

Based on the arguments presented in all the readings, a write an essay of at least five pages, in response to the following question: 

 

Will the substantial numbers of Americans continue to work in low-paying service-sector jobs or will new trends in U.S. manufacturing reverse the trend by creating more high-paying manufacturing jobs? If yes, why? If not, why not? 

 

Your essay should make specific reference to all the articles in this reading set. In addition, define and employ key terms that seem to be central to the arguments of your sources and, therefore, to your argument as well. Among these key terms are: teaching factory; cradle-to-cradle technologies; talent pipeline; service work; diseases of despair; job retraining; deindustrialization; living-wage; culture of solidarity; anxiously employed; underemployed; displaced workers; advanced manufacturing; demand driven training. Note: It is essential that you include in your essay specific references to the four articles in the reading set, and that you attribute any material that you summarize, quote, or paraphrase to its source
