About the Program
Author Barbara Ehrenreich discusses her book about the difficulty of living adequately in America on low-wages. In 1998, Ms. Ehrenreich left her Florida home to become one of the working poor to see if she could secure adequate housing and food on her wages. She took a number of low-wage jobs, such as Walmart sales clerk, waitress, hotel maid, and so on. She talks about some of her year-long experiences, persons she worked with, and hopes for changes in the future.
