Unemployed worker stigmatization directed at individuals previously laid off is additionally hindered by discrimination against minority status, job level, age, labor markets and previous length of employment (Karren & Sherman, 2012). Workers that have been laid off, instead of being seen as victims, are being perceived as deficient in ability and skill. The stigmatization is more detrimental to previously laid off minorities, mature workers and those that have been unemployed for a long time. Further impacting the stigmatization against such individuals is the level of the job being sought and the availability of jobs. As a remedy, organizations should review human resource policies and practices and the ways they are applied to unemployed …show more content…

The main purposes of financialization are to make the financial sector more economically powerful than the real sector, to take money from the real sector and give it to the financial sector, to make income inequality greater, and to increase wage stagnation. Other possible financialization risks are debt-deflation and recession prolongment. In order to prevent financialization, the government must regain policy control over the market, force corporate responsiveness to stakeholder interests in more ways than just via the financial market, combat the neo-liberal economic schema pushed by financialization, and force political reform allowing for prevention and diminishment of corporate, political and financial elitist influence (Palley, …show more content…

Georgios Argitis and Stella Michopoulou researched ways in which financialization through institutional channels had a negative impact on employment performance in market-driven economies, by disrupting the social cohesion and damaging equitable development. In addition, if financialization was to come to fruition, the only way full employment could be attained would be through the federally funded “Employer of Last Resort” policy strategy whereas the government would hire all those ready, willing and able to work for minimum wage paying jobs causing a negative impact on the workforce (Argitis & Michopoulou,

In Addition to maldistribution stood the credit structure of the economy, some farmers were in deep land mortgage debt, so they lowered their crop prices in order to regain credit, and because the farmers were no longer accountable for what they owed banks. Across the nation the banking system found themselves in constant trouble. In America both small and large bankers were concerned for their survival, so they began investing recklessly in stock markets and granting unwise loans. These unconscious decisions would lead a large consequence, such as families losing their life savings and their deposits became uninsured. “ More than 9,000 American banks either went bankrupt or closed their doors to avoid bankruptcy between 1930 and 1933.”Although

In All the Presidents' Bankers, Nomi Prins argues that the associations between the leaders of the largest banks and the presidents of the last century influenced economic policy in the U.S. and other countries. The presidents and the bankers worked together to make the U.S. the most powerful nation in the world. However, the bankers wanted power and profit without regard to the harm they caused people in the U.S and other countries. Although Prins’ commentary is biased, her arguments are well-supported and based on extensive research. Prins’ book is well-organized chronologically by time periods in history and presidents.

The story “Unemployed and Working” from Simon Wykoff shows his conventional thinking by writing to influence readers to reimagine the stereotype of the “lazy bum” commonly given to homeless people. The author explains how homeless people work to accomplish the most important job to humans, surviving, which can be just as difficult as a conventional job. Wykoff gives his own personal testimony about the life of his homeless father and the daily struggles and process he went through. He first explains his father’s decision of not using services for homeless people, and how he coped with that while living on the streets. He then goes through each task done by his father in a day, starting with saying how there was often a good chance that something of his was stolen while he was asleep and elaborating on how his father would buy himself food if he had made enough money, but if he had not then he would have to check dumpsters to satisfy his hunger.

The pressure is high for an African American due to discrimination and stereotypes. An example by Nitti can illustrate this statement “African Americans are more likely to be victims of jobless discrimination because their unemployment rate is 16.7 percent - more than twice that of whites. In a story about discrimination against the unemployed” (Nittle, 2011, p. 53). Even though the government does not officially “discriminate against the jobless as it does to women, racial minority groups, and people with disabilities, such bias may violate civil rights laws if it has a disparate impact on people of color” (Nittle, 2011, p. 53). Employers may at times view people of color as being attitudinally defiant about negative stereotypes and want to avoid hiring those who might propagate a racial

The same is true for African American individuals in the work force. The workforce claims to give everyone a fair and equal hand, but often times African Americans are given the short end of the stick. This lack of opportunity leads me to question the structural conditions that have created cultural patterns that reinforce disadvantage. The structural issues of inequality in the workforce lead many individuals to have a stigma towards African American individuals. This stigma taint’s society’s view towards this group and allows them to make judgements on other aspects of their lives.

There are many stigmas attached to receiving public assistance. People who depend on welfare to survive are often seen to use welfare because of “their laziness, drug use, lack of human capital, personal choice, or other personal shortcomings or irresponsible behavior.” The mothers in the study conducted by Seccombe, James, and Walters found that women receiving public assistance were all too aware of these stigma. These women understood that other people looked at them differently when they found out that they were on welfare. The surprising finding in this study, however, is that while individual women saw themselves as victims of a system, they stigmatized other women on public assistance under the same stereotypes that they were subjected to by others.

The history of migrant farm workers in California has changed extensively over time, especially under the influence of outside factors such as war and the desire to emigrate. Migrant workers, not just farm workers, have been involved in various occupations, from fishing to forestry, yet the agricultural field remains the most common (“Migrant Farm Labor”). Agricultural activities were once performed by Native Americans before Europeans established a colonial presence. During the existence of slavery in the U.S., it is believed by environmental historians that slaves applied their techniques in agriculture to those of American techniques, allowing them to rise against their owners with a better understanding of the landscape of the plantations

1279). Ethnocentric views of the ‘other’ can lead to discrimination, as it puts ‘coloured’ immigrants at a disadvantage by having less of a chance of receiving employment, compared to a white Australians, even if they have the same qualifications. Rodgers (2015) discusses the institutionalised discrimination Australian Muslims face in regard to unemployment continues today. Even though many have high education levels they suffer low employment outcomes.

It is exactly that mindset, she argues, that creates so many boundaries and limits for minorities. She believes that unconscious bias, or explicit prejudice, leads to a detrimental lack of diversity in the workforce. (Abdel-Magied, 1:37) The unconscious bias that we all have, she says, is harmful to society because there are people who are just as qualified to be in certain positions, but are sometimes held back merely because of race, religion, disability, class, or

They did a lot for the farmers here in the United States when the rise for agriculture workers went up.
