Working in the 21st century presents many challenges for adults, just like any other era in American history. Many things have improved, as they should over long periods, demonstrating the evolution of a society. However, there are traditions, like disparate work environments and gender roles, that remain the same for no reason. This stagnation, which no longer serves the whole of society, appears to be uniquely American. Entries in this blog will focus on some of the distinct challenges faced by contemporary working adults in America.
Since there is no universal guidebook for navigating professional expectations this blog will consciously consider and present practical themes. All topics and subjects will focus on purely American issues and offer undeniable American perspectives on the impact(s) societal and institutional infrastructure has on the lives of working adults in the United States. The subjects and ideas expressed here are intended to generate conversation about the daily challenges working adults face that employers do not speak about enough, and the United States government largely speaks of but does very little to move American society forward.
Without broader discussion on topics that most working adults face, the existing state of affairs, which was never intended to work for the vast number of Americans who make up today’s workforce, will remain in place. The entries are written by working adults that follow the Baby Boomers. These are individual writers who want to see their country preparing for the kind of change required for the “pursuit of happiness” to actually serve as an unalienable right.
