It IS Realistic!
This was me! For those who reviewed the book and said that Ehrenreich was "unrealistic", I'm going to share my story. Several years ago my ex-boyfriend and I could have been in the book; we were each working a full-time job and he also had TWO part-time jobs at the ...

Yale University Press, 2008

'Why are we just getting-by?'-An Anthology on the Craftsman (not Tradesman)

Holt Paperbacks, 2001

Initially I approached this book thinking that it told the familiar (and not particularly interesting) tale of how the endless demands of the workplace are slowly eating way at the little time that we have to spend with our families or just ourselves. Well, this is NOT ...

Contemporary Labor Economics

Campbell R McConnell, Stanley L Brue, ...

McGraw-Hill/Irwin, 2007

Wordy, Elementary, Unsatisfactory
Bought this book for an undergrad Labor Economics class for Spring 2008. This book is clearly for undergraduates: includes too many "real world examples", assumes very little mathematical knowledge, and chapter material is not presented concisely. After enjoying the ...

Dana Beth Weinberg

Cornell University Press, 2004

The "true" colour of healthcare...
