Barbara Ehrenreich sets out to experience how one third of America's working class survives on low wage jobs. She crosses the country performing double shifts as a chambermaid and waitress. She lives in tiny rooms, begs from food pantries, and suffers humiliation from young supervisors at Mall-mart. She learns humility from her gallant co-workers: the homeless waitress pushing fifty, the hotel maid who eats empty hotdog rolls, the nursing home cook who retreats into fantasy, and a house maid who is terrified her pregnancy will end her job and a 50-cent raise. This true-to-life odyssey is real, provocative, funny, maddening, full of attitude and all-American.
