Nickel and dimed :

EHRENREICH, Barbara

Nickel and dimed : on (not) getting by in American Barbara Ehrenreich - New York : Metrpolitan/Owl Books, 2002. - 230p. ; 21cm

Can a middle-aged, middle-class woman survive, when she suddenly has to make beds all day in a hotel and live on $7 an hour? Maybe. But one $7-an-hour job won't pay the rent: she'll have to do back-to-back shifts, as a chambermaid and a waitress. ... The play shows us the life a third of working Americans now lead, and makes us angry that anyone should have to live it.
