Description | While there is a plethora of scholarship on all aspects of labor and policy conversations about employment are ubiquitous especially during election years, the lived experience of working in all its complexities is difficult to capture. Yet, the immense popularity and staying power of such books as Studs Terkel’s Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day (1974)) and Barbara Ehrenreich’s Nickle and Dimed: On getting By in America (2001) underscores that there is an audience and need for narratives about particular individual experiences of work -- precisely the type of fine grained detail that often gets left out of academic and policy debates. This type of aggregation of experiences can be especially problematic when discussing jobs held or sought by low income women. |
