Overview

What if losing your job didn't mean losing your future? Every day, Americans are laid off and dropped into a system built for another century-one that provides a check when what's really needed is a roadmap. In an economy defined by automation, globalization, and permanent dislocation, our unemployment system is no longer enough. Rebuilding the Ladder is a bold and timely blueprint for transforming how we respond to job loss. Policy strategist John Pritchett argues that the answer isn't just more benefits-it's a new kind of infrastructure for reemployment. Drawing on success stories from Denmark, Germany, Singapore, and forward-thinking U.S. cities, this book lays out a four-part reform plan: - Personalized reemployment accounts - Modernized job centers - Wage insurance for older workers - Public-private training boot camps With urgency and clarity, Rebuilding the Ladder reframes unemployment as a moral and strategic failure-and reemployment as one of the most powerful investments a society can make. For policymakers, employers, civic leaders, and anyone who believes in a future of work that works for everyone-this book is a must-read.
