The Career Mystique examines taken-for-granted rules of the career game - that continuous, full-time, hard work pays off - deeply embedded in the American Dream.

Addresses the following central questions: what are the major implications - for society, families, husbands, children and women themselves - of the substantial and progressive movement of American women into the labor force?

By linking a wide range of social and economic conditions, The State of Americans is a "thoughtful, compelling piece of work" that presents a comprehensive overview of American social trends (William J. Bennett, bestselling author).With previous publications about social problems dealing with one issue at a time, The State of Americans is the first book to bring together the demographic data on social trends, systematically examining the relationships among them. Readers will find evidence supporting the authors' claims that it is impossible to determine where America is headed unless there is consideration of factors such as family structures and social attitudes and recognition of how they influence each other. The State of Americans is the perfect read for anyone looking to understand the interrelationships among social and economic conditions and how they can determine whether the nation is prospering or declining.
