Book excerpt: Problem: Most Americans don't realize the potential gold mine in blue-collar business. By "blue-collar business" I mean a business providing a specialized service requiring a trained employee and manual labor. In my case it is chimney sweeping, but it can range from construction to gardening to plumbing and junk removal. There are literally thousands and thousands of opportunities, but many people don't consider blue-collar work as an option and are missing out as a result... Over 3 million blue-collar and skilled labor jobs went unfilled in America last year! The service industry is wide open in America and this book will open your eyes to a growing opportunity that you probably never thought about. By reading this book you will learn how to: Think bigger - Don't be scared of starting or growing your existing business. Make a decision and then make the decision right. Be a leader - You have to learn to be a leader if you want to have a great business. Leadership is a learned skill and this book can help get you started. Start with a plan and an exit strategy so you can live the life you want without being stuck in your business. So come on America, let's get to work doing the "dirty" jobs and make a whole lot of money while you're at it

Book excerpt: In Limbo, award-winning journalist Alfred Lubrano identifies and describes an overlooked cultural phenomenon: the internal conflict within individuals raised in blue-collar homes, now living white-collar lives. These people often find that the values of the working class are not sufficient guidance to navigate the white-collar world, where unspoken rules reflect primarily upper-class values. Torn between the world they were raised in and the life they aspire too, they hover between worlds, not quite accepted in either. Himself the son of a Brooklyn bricklayer, Lubrano informs his account with personal experience and interviews with other professionals living in limbo. For millions of Americans, these stories will serve as familiar reminders of the struggles of achieving the American Dream.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This true story documents the extraordinary life of an "Every Man" who came from humble beginnings to realize substantial accomplishment in spite of harrowing experiences and difficult circumstances.Ed Freeman's birthright family trials and tribulations begin when his great-grandfather is abandoned at as a newborn on a pastor's doorstep in North Carolina in 1833. The baby boy grew into a young man and ended up fighting in the US Civil War, later migrating to the Great Plains where the family made a living connected to all things turning up dirt, tilling and plowing the rolling hills of Nebraska. At the end of the 1930s Dust Bowl the baby boy's great-grandson, young Ed Freeman, escaped a forced arrangement during the Great Depression in the middle of a freezing cold winter night by hopping on a railcar headed west, joining the ranks of hoboes and eventually settling in the coastal mountains of Oregon where he could be his own man in a land of opportunity. Leveraging the work ethic, skill sets, and accumulation of life experiences that typified the high quality tradesmen they had become, in 1969 Ed Freeman and his son Dugie formed a company that would build custom all welded commercial fishing boats in the small Pacific Coastal town of Gold Beach, Oregon. During the 1970s they were constructing the biggest aluminum boats built in the United States and specialized in markets of the Pacific Northwest including Alaska. The Freemans found dignity in taking on the jobs nobody else wanted and made things work no matter what. Over the course of the little firm's short life (12 years), the boats they built had a combined length of nearly four football fields and a total vessel weight of more than a million pounds. This is a straight-forward American story, both interesting and instructive, that is neither simple nor complex. It puts a face to personal struggles, applies respect that effort, creativity, hard work, absorption, reflection, striving, and persistence deserves, and connects a larger sphere of influencers that contributed to their success.

Book excerpt: Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2003 From Tom Joad to Norma Rae to Spike Lee's Mookie in Do the Right Thing, Hollywood has regularly dramatized the lives and struggles of working people in America. Ranging from idealistic to hopeless, from sympathetic to condescending, these portrayals confronted audiences with the vital economic, social, and political issues of their times while providing a diversion—sometimes entertaining, sometimes provocative—from the realities of their own lives. In Blue-Collar Hollywood, John Bodnar examines the ways in which popular American films made between the 1930s and the 1980s depicted working-class characters, comparing these cinematic representations with the aspirations of ordinary Americans and the promises made to them by the country's political elites. Based on close and imaginative viewings of dozens of films from every genre—among them Public Enemy, Black Fury, Baby Face, The Grapes of Wrath, It's a Wonderful Life, I Married a Communist, A Streetcar Named Desire, Peyton Place, Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Coal Miner's Daughter, and Boyz N the Hood—this book explores such topics as the role of censorship, attitudes toward labor unions and worker militancy, racism, the place of women in the workforce and society, communism and the Hollywood blacklist, and faith in liberal democracy. Whether made during the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, or the Vietnam era, the majority of films about ordinary working Americans, Bodnar finds, avoided endorsing specific political programs, radical economic reform, or overtly reactionary positions. Instead, these movies were infused with the same current of liberalism and popular notion of democracy that flow through the American imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It looked for a while like Michael Collins would spend his life breaking concrete and throwing rocks for the Vittorio Scalese Construction Company. He liked the work and he liked the pay. But a chance remark by one of his coworkers made him realize that he wanted to involve himself in something bigger, something more meaningful than crushing rocks and drinking beer. In his acclaimed first memoir, Hot Lights, Cold Steel, Collins wrote passionately about his four-year surgical residency at the prestigious Mayo Clinic. Blue Collar, Blue Scrubs turns back the clock, taking readers from his days as a construction worker to his entry into medical school, expertly infusing his journey to become a doctor with humanity, compassion and humor. From the first time he delivers a baby to being surrounded by death and pain on a daily basis, Collins compellingly writes about how medicine makes him confront, in a very deep and personal way, the nature of God and suffering—and how delicate life can be.
