$55.00

Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America is a 2001 book by Barbara Ehrenreich, a work of undercover journalism where she lived and worked low-wage jobs (waitress, maid, house cleaner, nursing-home aide, and Walmart employee) to expose the struggles of the working poor in the U.S. She discovered that these jobs are physically and mentally demanding, require more than one job to survive, and that low-wage workers face a constant, anxious struggle to make ends meet, challenging the idea that these jobs are "unskilled" and easily accessible. The book became a classic, fueling discussions on poverty, labor, and the American dream. (0.675 PPO-Professional Studies CEUs)

Project Requirements: Read the book and answer 10 short essay questions totaling a 3,000 word minimum response.
