Citizens Read "Nickle and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America"

Citizens Read discusses the tenth anniversary edition of Nickle and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America by Barbara Ehrenreich. Times and presidents have changed since this book was first published - but have things essentially stayed the same? Is minimum wage really sufficient to let citizens achieve the American dream? However you answer, Nickle and Dimed raises issues worth discussing.

And recently in the New York Times: U.S. Poverty Rate, at 15 Percent, Is the Highest Since 1993.

November's Citizens Read selection will offer a counterpoint to this month's book.
