Negative Positive
Title: good idea, but...
Review: While the idea behind this book was good, the reality of being in the poorest working classes was missed. The author did not have children, did not have day care issues, had her credit cards and her bank account as a back up. Most, if not all, of the people she worked with and wrote about do not have this type of support. When she got a rash, she called her dermatologist - the working poor do not even have a doctor, let alone a dermatologist.The author set a time frame of one month per job, anybody who is in the desparate sitation described, would be held to that job for years. They would not have the luxury of simply walking away. Most people in this position end up working at entry level jobs for many, many years. They have to make sure that there is a paycheck so that at least some of the basic needs of life are met.While it does give a bit of insight into the lives of these workers, it falls short in painting the true picture.
