Being laid off can be a traumatic event. The unemployed worry about how they will pay their bills and find a new job. In the American economy's boom-and-bust business cycle since the 1980s, repeated layoffs have become part of working life. In A Company of One, Carrie M. Lane finds that the new culture of corporate employment, changes to the job search process, and dual-income marriage have reshaped how today's skilled workers view unemployment. Through interviews with seventy-five unemployed and underemployed high-tech white-collar workers in the Dallas area over the course of the 2000s, Lane shows that they have embraced a new definition of employment in which all jobs are temporary and all workers are, or should be, independent "companies of one." Following the experiences of individual jobseekers over time, Lane explores the central role that organized networking events, working spouses, and neoliberal ideology play in forging and reinforcing a new individualist, pro-market response to the increasingly insecure nature of contemporary employment. She also explores how this new perspective is transforming traditional ideas about masculinity and the role of men as breadwinners. Sympathetic to the benefits that this "company of one" ideology can hold for its adherents, Lane also details how it hides the true costs of an insecure workforce and makes collective and political responses to job loss and downward mobility unlikely.

Carrie M. Lane is Chair and Professor of American Studies at California State University, Fullerton, where she teaches about work, gender, community, ethnography, and disability. She earned a BA in cultural anthropology with a concentration in women’s studies at Princeton University and a PhD in American Studies at Yale University. Her research focuses on how work is changing in the Unites States, and what that means for individual workers as well as their families, communities, and country.
Carrie’s newest book, More Than Pretty Boxes: How the Rise of Professional Organizing Shows Us the Way We Work Isn’t Working, uses the fascinating field of professional organizing to illuminate what’s not working in American society today and point us toward more humane ways of working and living amidst an era of uncertainty and overwhelm. Her other works include the award-winning A Company of One: Insecurity, Independence, and the New World of White-Collar Unemployment and the edited volume Anthropologies of Unemployment: New Perspectives on Work and Its Absence. She regularly publishes in newspapers, magazines, and academic journals.
Carrie co-edits the Anthropology of Contemporary North America book series for University of Nebraska Press and is an Editorial Board member of Anthropology of Work Review. She recently served as her university’s inaugural Scholarly Publications Faculty Fellow, mentoring faculty authors as they prepare and revise their work for publication. She’s led study abroad trips for CSUF students to Indonesia, Denmark, and South Africa.
When not working, Carrie loves to read, run, puzzle, and paddle board, and to snuggle every dog that will tolerate it. She lives in Los Angeles with her family.
