Praise for David K. Shipler’s The Working Poor:
“This is clearly one of those seminal books that every American should read and read now.”
—The New York Times Book Review
” An essential book. . . . It should be required reading not just for every member of Congress, but for every eligible voter.”
—The Washington Post Book World
“Sensitive, sometimes heart-rending . . . . A vivid portrait of the struggle of the working poor to acquire steady, decently paid employment.”
–Commentary
