Nickel and Dimed "On (Not) Getting By in America"
-Barbara Ehrenreich
In this book, a fairly well off author and writer, Barbara decides to take on the plight of the working poor. Those workers all over the country working several jobs at minimum wage and more than 40 hours a week to put food on the table and barely getting by. She moves around the country to many different states doing many different jobs and finds just how hard it is to make it on a minimum wage salary.
Ehrenreich's book is writing like a novel but with startling facts interspersed. Ehrenreich gives an honest insight into the sacrifices and the trade-offs of the working class poor.
