Those challenges range from the profound to the prosaic: stubbornly high unemployment, bad bosses, lousy summer jobs for youths.
Not enough jobs
Perhaps the biggest problem facing today's workers is that there's not enough work.
Today's national unemployment rate of 8.3% in July, remains well above the comfort level.
Add in those workers who can find only part-time work, or the discouraged dropouts no longer counted in the workforce statistics, and the national jobless rate rises to about 15%.
Charles Ballard, a professor of economics at Michigan State University, said disappointing jobless numbers may represent "the new normal."
"At the very least, it looks like it will take a very long time for us to get back to the levels of underemployment that we had before 2008," he said last week.
At a job fair last week in Dearborn, Mich., Dwayne Dixon said he spent 18 years in the food and beverage management industry, at one point overseeing 180 employees. Then he opened his own restaurant, but had to close it after seven years as the economy slowed. He has been unemployed for the past two months.
