Ruhaan has been working for a major American multinational oil company. He yearns for the days when careers had a secure, steady shape. Right after college, Ruhaan settled into his job and hoped to stay with that same organization until he retired. However, almost all the people Ruhaan started working with no longer are employed by the company, and Ruhaan fears he will be next to be laid off. The one trend in the modern American economy that does NOT make Ruhaan feel threatened is: outsourcing. globalization. technology-related cutbacks. occupational segregation
