You Had a Job for Life: Story of a Company Town by Jamie Sayen
You Had a Job for Life: Story of a Company Town is a heartbreaking story of the decimation of industrial America resulting from an economic model that champions absentee investor-owners who seize and disaggregate well-integrated and effectively operated local enterprises. Based on years of interviews of the company’s employees and former owners along with dozens of residents of Groveton, New Hampshire, Sayen tells the story of a small paper mill with a diversified product line, and the forces that doomed it after 11 decades of operation.
