  • Description and Reviews

    So she did what millions of Americans do, she looked for a job and a place to live, worked that job, and tried to make ends meet. Even in her best-case scenario, with all the advantages of education, health, a car, and money for first month's rent, she has to work two jobs, seven days a week, and still almost winds up in a shelter. With her characteristic wry wit and her unabashedly liberal bent, Ehrenreich brings the invisible poor out of hiding and, in the process, the world they inhabit–where civil liberties are often ignored and hard work fails to live up to its reputation as the ticket out of poverty. summarized from Amazon.com [reviews|asin=]
