}Persuaded by a colleague to go “undercover” as a low wage worker, Barbara Ehrenreich, author of 21 books, discovers what it truly takes to survive on minimum wage. The award-winning columnist and essayist finds that even those who work full time can not escape poverty. Ehrenreich tells her story of her experience in Florida, Maine, and Minnesota working as a waitress, maid, nursing home aide, and a sales associate at Wal-Mart. She opens the eyes of Americans to the problem that the truly poor face every day.
