"Economists believe in full employment. Americans think that work builds character. But what if jobs aren’t working anymore?"

The article does a good job of analysing the state of employment but never really addresses the nature of work. There seems, to me, to be a large distinction between the two. Employment is some arrangement where we trade our labour or services for remuneration. Work, on the other hand, is a much broader category, perhaps encompassing any productive activity.
