has recently affected demographic groups that were relatively
insulated in earlier times - white men, white-collar workers, and

their anxiety, but I think that's why the matters gotten a lot more
popular attention than it used to. Perversely, all the attention
magnifies the apparent instability, leading workers to overestimate
their risk as a group.
