Not a big fan of this book. While it was a critically acclaimed book about the struggles of minimum wage workers with some eye-opening points, the author seemed to be pushing her own social agenda. One example: she balks at taking a drug test for her employer. "Why do employers persist in the practice? Probably in part because of advertising by the roughly $2billion drug-testing industry, but I suspect that the demeaning effect of testing may also hold some attraction for employers" (pg 128)
