Security guards - Stanford Working in America project interviews

Elk Grove Village IL

Description

The Working in America project is a group of researchers from the Stanford Digital Economy Lab at Stanford University. We’re creating a multi-media website examining the future of jobs, occupations, and industries in the United States, with a particular interest in the impact of new technologies. We have tons of quantitative data to tell this story–for example, the rate of technological change, fluctuations in pay and skills, and changes in job descriptions–but the most important part of the story, in our opinion, is the lived experience of workers in these jobs. We invite you to chat with us for one hour on Zoom to tell us more about your experience as a security guard. The questions will be general, open-ended, and geared towards understanding how you ended up in the occupation you’re in, what your view of the job is, and how you feel about your future prospects. We’ll compensate you with a $25 Amazon gift card for your time, but the real reward is sharing your story with the world! We hope to make the website a resource for workers, organizations, policymakers, and educational institutions seeking to better prepare the workforce for the jobs of the future. Interested?
