This study sought to identify the lived experience of 61 adults using a purposive sample from a diverse array of settings with a particular focus on the participants\u0026rsquo; work lives. One of the major themes that will be explored is the observation that there are two profoundly disparate experiences of working within the U.S.; some work for survival and struggle to eke out an existence while others work for self-determination and experience feelings of satisfaction and accomplishment in their work lives. In addition, this study identified a growing sense of social and psychological erosion in the workplace, which was manifested in a wide array of ways, including increased self- and other blame, as well as a fragmented sense of security. The presentation will conclude with future research directions and implications for public policy based on the very rich findings from this study.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EDavid Blustein is a Professor of Counseling, Developmental, and Education Psychology from Boston College.
