RSVP for "The Precariat ~ Life on the Edge: No Job Security, No Benefits"
Join Women's Voices at The Heights (8001 Dale Ave., 63117) on September 12, 2019.
Doors open at 6:30 PM; event begins at 7:00 PM.
What is happening to the “precariat” – people living in a precarious world where they have no job security, no predictable wages, and no benefits to fall back on? Do statistics – GDP (gross domestic product), employment numbers, stock market highs – tell us the truth about how well most Americans are doing? Do they give an accurate picture of working women’s status? Do they give us any insights about how living with uncertainty affects people’s material and psychological well-being? The answers will surprise you.
