Nickel n' Dimed
Ehrenreich left behind her car, house, well paying job and ATM card to take part in an interesting experiment. She left behind all her middle class belongings in search for a lower class lifestyle. she wanted to see how mothers and other people that make minimum wage live and the difficulties they deal with everyday. She found it ironically hard to find a job that requires little to no skill becuase the main reason of hiring is job turnovers. She finally lands a job and finds it very hard to stay afloat only make 6-7 dollars an hour at a local resturant. I feel bad for the people that are in these situations but without these people willing to work these jobs our society wouldnt be functionable, they are a necessity to the work world.
