Barbara Ehrenreich set out to find out how anyone could make ends meet on $7 an hour. 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. Her book chronicles her journey in the workforce as a waitress, a cleaning woman, a nursing home aide, and an employee at Wal-Mart, and the trials beset by those forced to work in such positions. A fast read that's both sobering and sassy, she gives readers pause about those caught in the economy's undertow, even in good times.
