Book Synopsis
Today 4.7 million Americans have been unemployed for more than six months. In France more than ten percent of the working population is without work. And in Greece and Spain, that number approaches thirty percent. The author delves beneath these staggering numbers to explore the world of job searching and unemployment across class and nation.

Trade Review
"In Job-Search Games, Ofer Sharone develops a cogent, timely, and compelling account of why American employees blame themselves for their failure to secure employment and why their Israeli counterparts engage in system blame instead. Sharone moves the discussion well beyond global generalizations about the role of culture to make an important contribution to the literature of joblessness." (Steven Vallas, author of Work: A Critique)"
