From the book cover: Millions of Americans work full-time, year-round, for poverty-level wages. Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them, to see how anyone can survive, let along prosper, on six to seven dollars an hour. She took the cheapest lodgings available and accepted work as a waitress, hotel maid, house cleaner, nursing home aide, and Wal-Mart salesperson. This book will change the way America perceives its working poor.
