Answer 1

The book is under copyright, so you won't find a lot of excerpts, except Amazon.com. They may have "Look inside this book!" The author's thesis is that too many people are working at jobs that do not pay enough to live on. So the employers are "nickel and diming us to death." Examples are WalMarts and MacDonalds. If you walk into a McDonalds, you may see a hiring poster. The reason they say you should sign up to work there are flexible hours, "extra" money (you can't live on it). The author previously wrote a book called, "Making It (And Not Making It) In America."
