Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America is a book written by Barbara Ehrenreich. Written from her perspective as an undercover journalist, it sets out to investigate the impact of the 1996 welfare reform act on the working poor in the United States.
The events related in the book took place between spring 1998 and summer 2000. The book was first published in 2001 by Metropolitan Books. An earlier version appeared as an article in the January 1999 issue of Harper's magazine. Ehrenreich later wrote a companion book, Bait and Switch (published September 2005), which discusses her attempt to find a white-collar job.
Barbara Ehrenreich is an American writer and political activist who describes herself as "a myth buster by trade", and has been called "a veteran muckraker" by The New Yorker.During the 1980s and early 1990s she was a prominent figure in the Democratic Socialists of America. She is a widely read and award-winning columnist and essayist, and author of 21 books. Ehrenreich is perhaps best known for her 2001 book Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America. A memoir of Ehrenreich's three-month experiment surviving on minimum wage as a waitress, hotel maid, house cleaner, nursing-home aide, and Wal-Mart clerk, it was described by Newsweek magazine as "jarring" and "full of riveting grit",and by The New Yorker as an "exposé" putting "human flesh on the bones of such abstractions as 'living wage' and 'affordable housing'"
We are so used to social status we reside and hence lose the view of the whole picture. The rich does not understand the middle class. Middle class does not understand the working class. The working class does not understand the poor. It is so hard to move between the classes even if you try, try, and try.

评分多好的题材被作者糟蹋了 书中看到的更多的是一个whinning american 但是如果那个时候已经一份minimal wage的工作无法养活一个人的话 那15年之后的今天收入缩水房租照涨的社会出现问题确实是再所难免的 而高福利感觉也不能解决问题...
不同于电视情景喜剧和好莱坞电影中的美国,另一个美国是一个被其自身忽视的隐密大陆。很少见诸报道的关于美国梦的真相就是,这个国家也存在着分布广泛、不断增长和不可避免的贫穷。在这个国家中,那些做着基础工作的人们,只能拿到低于生存标准的薪资。 芭芭拉•艾伦瑞克潜...
