Nickel and Dimed: Undercover in Low-Wage America

by Barbara Ehrenreich - £9.99  Granta Books (2021)
paperback    ISBN 13: 9781783787548 | ISBN 10: 1783787546

Millions of Americans work full-time, year-round, for poverty-level wages. Distinguished journalist Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them in order to find out how anyone could survive on six to seven dollars an hour.
 
Ehrenreich left home, took the cheapest lodgings she could find and accepted whatever job she was offered, from cleaning to care work, waitressing to folding clothes at Wal-Mart.
 
So began a gruelling, hair-raising and darkly funny odyssey through the underside of working America.

"A funny, humane and important book, a testimony to those who lie forgotten at the bottom of the corporate heap"
(Deborah Moggach, Independent)
