Books by Frank Stricker

The history of unemployment and concepts surrounding it remain a mystery to many Americans. This introduction takes an aim at misinformation, willful deceptions, and popular myths to set the record straight, providing a roadmap to better jobs and economic security.

Assessing American poverty and policy since 1950, this book examines an era that has seen serious discussion about the causes of poverty and unemployment. It demonstrates that most antipoverty approaches are futile without the presence (or creation) of good jobs. It states that a serious public debate is needed about the job situation.
