American narratives of meritocracy and equal opportunity imply that an individual's ability to succeed in the U.S. labor market is reflective of their level of education, skill, intelligence, and how hard they work. Most workforce development policies are based on these assumptions, prioritizing the development of human capital to meet the needs of employers and the overall economy. Yet recent changes in the structure of work, an increase in income and wealth inequality, and the disappearance of middle class jobs are calling these narratives into question. It is no longer clear that education and hard work alone can guarantee a good job, economic stability, or upward mobility over an individual's lifetime.

520 $a American narratives of meritocracy and equal opportunity imply that an individual's ability to succeed in the U.S. labor market is reflective of their level of education, skill, intelligence, and how hard they work. Most workforce development policies are based on these assumptions, prioritizing the development of human capital to meet the needs of employers and the overall economy. Yet recent changes in the structure of work, an increase in income and wealth inequality, and the disappearance of middle class jobs are calling these narratives into question. It is no longer clear that education and hard work alone can guarantee a good job, economic stability, or upward mobility over an individual's lifetime.
520 $a This mixed-method case study of Southern New Hampshire's healthcare workforce investigates the mechanisms that lead to employment opportunity and advancement for employed health professionals, with special attention to the role of networks and their effects on white professionals and professionals of color. The study is informed by theories of embeddedness, relational inequality, and critical race theory. Findings demonstrate that many health professionals struggle to construct career paths that result in financial stability, security, and opportunity, reflecting a segmented labor market. People of color are disproportionately overrepresented in career paths that are not well served by the institutional environment. To get ahead, health professionals leverage network resources to construct chains of opportunity, maintain privilege, and access opportunities where institutions have failed. Additional network effects related to segregation, social exclusion, and white privilege provide cumulative advantages for whites over the life course, which lead to invisible yet critical career advantages.
520 $a Developing effective policies to address and reverse these patterns will require involvement from employers, workforce development programs, educational institutions, city and state governments, and job seekers. Recommendations include improving institutional pathways, network expansion and integration, and leadership development. These strategies have the potential to leverage the power of networks and strengthen the workforce system, creating a more equitable labor market and building new pathways to the American Dream.
