- Description:
- Daniel Clark, professor of history at Oakland University, delivers a talk entitled "The elusive post-war boom: metro Detroit autoworkers in the 1950's." Clark suggests that contrary to previously published analyses of the postwar era as one of job stability and economic advancement, the era was really one of job instability and economic insecurity. Clark reviews the historical record and evidence from his own interviews and research to conclude that ordinary autoworkers were not as secure as once thought. He answers questions from the audience. Clark is introduced by John Beck, professor of Human Resources and Labor Relations.
