Discussion:
You are to discuss the main issues brought up in the first half of the Ehrenreich book. You are asked to tie her research into sociological research on work: which theoretical perspective would her work most likely fit into? How did she do her research and what were the strengths of this approach? What were her limitations? With what you have read so far, describe how the American economy looks from the perspective of low wage workers. The final product is to be a 2-3 page paper, properly cited and formatted.
