The bestselling, landmark work of undercover reportage, now updated
Acclaimed as an instant classic upon publication, Nickel and Dimed has sold more than 1.5 million copies and be a staple of classroom reading. Chosen for “one book” initiatives across the country, they have fueled nationwide campaigns for a full time income wage. Funny, poignant, and passionate, this revelatory firsthand account of life in low-wage America—the storyplot of Barbara Ehrenreich’s attempts to eke out a full time income while working as a waitress, hotel maid, house cleaner, nursing-home aide, and Wal-Mart associate—is becoming an essential area of the nation’s political discourse.
Now, in a fresh afterword, Ehrenreich implies that the plight of the underpaid has by no means eased: with fewer jobs available, deteriorating work conditions, no pay upsurge in sight, Nickel and Dimed is more relevant than ever before.
