Fear Factor in the Workplace
This from the NY Times. This is journalistic confirmation of the obvious (to me anyway).
The economy lost 524,000 jobs in December, raising the unemployment rate to 7.2 percent. More than 10 million Americans are now unemployed. Many more millions of Americans worry about their own job security. These anxieties are transforming the workplace. Employees may be working harder, experts say, but they may also be less productive. What is the toll on individual workers and on the economy as a whole? Our Room for Debate panelists try to answer the question. We hope readers will share their own stories and observations.
