Work is part of God's plan for people. For a career to be fulfilling, that work should fit into the individual's values, talents and gifts. In Your Career in Changing Times, Lee Ellis and Larry Burkett explore tying a career into the large picture of pursuing God's will through efficient use of one's gifts. You'll discover the four skills that every employee will need in tomorrow's job market, the 'how-to's of preparing for work through education and training, and even twelve steps you can take to help your children select the right career. Sixty to eighty percent of those in the work force are dissatisfied with their jobs. The workplace is changing. With economic prospects dim, companies are downsizing to make themselves more competitive, and college graduates are facing a dismal hiring environment. Automation and technology will reduce employment needs even more, and there will be strong competition for jobs. Whether you're a young person preparing to attend college, an executive considering a job change, or you're looking forward to retirement, Your Career in Changing Times is the tool you'll need to make these life-changing decisions. In a transforming workplace you can't afford to be plagued with doubt about the skills you have to offer, and you can't afford to be uninformed about career planning.

Women of all racial\ethnic backrounds and minority men have been hailed as the major beneficiaries of the expansion in political, economic, and employment opportunities of the 1960s and 1970s. The author uses data derived from a twenty year span of census material to provide a thorough analysis of gender and race segregation throughout the professional occupations in the U.S. during this period of massive social change. She makes clear the advances achieved by all groups-men and women, black and white-during this period of economic expansion, as well as insightfully evaluating the differential advantage of white men against all other race/gender groups. At the same time, Professor Sokoloff provides compelling evidence challenging several myths, such as that of the two-fer myth, whereby black women are said to benefit two-fold from their race and gender statuses from affirmative action.
