Themes about the book "Nickel and Dimed"?

Question

Please help me to solve this question, for example: drug testing, personal testing, managers, and how to fail, please tell more about that themes. Thanks!

Answer 1

Well, the main theme is how hard it is to survive at minimum wage. Gender issues come up - how women have it even harder as they often have children to take care of as well and financially support, and they are steered into lower paying jobs.

The treatment of workers by wealthier people is another main theme.

Wal-mart's way of doing things is a big subtopic.
