Nickel and Dimed is a modern classic that deftly portrays the plight of America's working-class poor. Author Barbara Ehrenreich decides to see if she can scratch out a comfortable living in blue-collar America. What she discovers is a culture of desperation, where workers often take multiple low-paying jobs just to keep a roof overhead.

Fantastic submitted by majean on August 9, 2018, 6:09pm This books is, perhaps sadly, timeless and still relevant. Many people are making the same pay the were back in 2001 when the book came out. Everyone should read this book. The narrator of the audiobook is great!
