Answers
As noted in Chapter 1, the nature of work and its role in society are changing in ways that have sparked considerable debate among social critics and scholars from multiple disciplines who study work. In this book we have analyzed how the nature of work and the occupational structure in the United States are changing and discussed the implications of these changes for how the tools of occupational analysis and classification can be used to bundle jobs together into work structures. We have attempted to sort out what is changing and what is not and to provide an interpretative framework that will aid organizational decision makers and members of the workforce as they go about making choices that will not only shape the world of work but also the future of numerous stakeholders. In this final chapter, we present our key findings, discuss their implications for decision makers in both the civilian and military sectors, and suggest directions for future research.
