Janesville: An American Story with Amy Goldstein

A Washington Post reporter's intimate account of the fallout from the closing of a General Motors assembly plant in Janesville, Wisconsin, Paul Ryan's hometown, and a larger story of the hollowing of the American middle class.

Her reporting takes the reader deep into the lives of autoworkers, educators, bankers, politicians, and job re-trainers to show why it's so hard in the twenty-first century to recreate a healthy, prosperous working class.

For this is not just a Janesville story or a Midwestern story. It is an American story.

Goldstein grew up in Henrietta, NY and has been a staff writer for 30 years at the Washington Post.
