More than the youth are uneasy. A Gallup poll of workers of all ages last year showed that 19% were displeased with their jobs, up from 13% in 1969. Observes Psychiatrist Robert Coles: "Working people with whom I have talked make quite clear the ways they feel cornered, trapped, lonely, pushed around at work and confused by a sense of meaninglessness...
