The Tolls of Uncertainty investigates our nation’s broken unemployment system, an institution that no longer provides a safety net for all, but for those who need help the least. I began the work of this book in my first year on the tenure track, conducting the depth interviews in the years when my daughter was first born. As I moved through tenure, I analyzed the data and wrote the manuscript with the support of many wonderful Penn State colleagues. The book is tied to my Penn State journey.
