Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
by Barbara Ehrenreich
Barbara Ehrenreich goes undercover in America's low-wage economy, taking jobs as a waitress, a maid, and a big-box clerk to test whether anyone can actually survive on them. The result is a wry, furious, brisk dispatch from the working poor that has lost almost none of its sting.
