Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America

I read this book twice, once for myself, and a year or so later, when it was chosen by my book club. An eye opener - or maybe not if you are one of those trying to make a living and supporting a family on minimum wage. Walmart, waitressing, working in a nursing home, working for a house cleaning service - were all explored by Barbara Ehrenreich. A realistic view of living from paycheck to paycheck.
