Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
reviewed on + 2 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 6


This book should be required reading for all high school students and for every American who thinks you can live off of a minimum wage. It portrays the issues facing day workers in a very realistic fashion, and is especially pertinent in this time of high unemployment/underemployment.
