ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich chronicles the author's immersive journey into the world of low-wage work in America. Seeking to understand the realities faced by the unskilled workforce, Ehrenreich takes on jobs as a waitress, hotel housekeeper, and retail associate in different cities. Her narrative vividly portrays the challenges of surviving on meager earnings, including the difficulties of finding affordable housing, the physical and emotional toll of the work, and the often-dehumanizing aspects of these jobs. The book explores themes of poverty, economic inequality, and the invisible struggles of the working poor in a seemingly prosperous society.
