About this product

Product Information

The "New York Times" bestseller, and one of the most talked about books of the year, Ni"ckel and Dimed" has already become a classic of undercover reportage. Millions of Americans work for poverty-level wages, and one day Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. She was inspired in part by the rhetoric surrounding welfare reform, which promised that any job equals a better life. But how can anyone survive, let alone prosper, on $6 to $7 an hour? To find out, Ehrenreich moved from Florida to Maine to Minnesota, taking the cheapest lodgings available and accepting work as a waitress, hotel maid, house cleaner, nursing-home aide, and Wal-Mart salesperson. She soon discovered that even the "lowliest" occupations require exhausting mental and physical efforts. And one job is not enough; you need at least two if you intend to live indoors. "Nickel and Dimed" reveals low-wage America in all its tenacity, anxiety, and surprising generosity -- a land of Big Boxes, fast food, and a thousand desperate strategies for survival. Instantly acclaimed for its insight, humor, and passion, this book is changing the way America perceives its working poor.

An in-your-face expose." --Anne Colamosca, Business Week "With grace and wit, Ehrenreich discovers . . . the irony of being nickel and dimed during unprecedented prosperity." --Eileen Boris, The Boston Globe "Ehrenreich is a superb and relaxed stylist [with] a tremendous sense of rueful humor." --Stephen Metcalf, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Barbara Ehrenreich . . . is our premier reporter of the underside of capitalism." --Dorothy Gallagher, The New York Times Book
