Are those with jobs working too much, with too little pay?

On the next Your Call, we'll talk to Mother Jones editor Clara Jeffrey, about the flip-side of the unemployment crisis: the "Great Speedup" of the American workforce. According to Jeffrey's cover article, Americans are now working nearly 400 more hours per year than Germans. Is it because fewer people are pushed into taking on a greater number of tasks? Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. If you are lucky enough to have a job, is it working you to death? It's Your Call with Holly Kernan and you.

Guests:
Clara Jeffrey, deputy editor of Mother Jones magazine and co-author of All Work and No Pay: The Great Speedup
