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

Helpful Score: 1


Barbara Ehrenreich embarks on a journey to understand the day-to-day that the working poor endure. She moves from Florida to Maine to Minnesota and works in low wage jobs such as waitress and house cleaner. I found it a facinating read - you gain a greater understanding of the challenges the working poor endure.
