Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting by in America by Barbara Ehrenreich

4.0

This is one book that I think all high schoolers should read--getting that $12/hour job may seem really promising, but it's really not enough to live on. And I like how Ehrenreich shows how the people who work these seemingly menial jobs--maids, waitresses, cashiers--are really looked down on.
