This is what I'm watching. It's interesting because the participants are colorful, although there's not really new info.
Ehrenreich, Barbara, Contributor, Nation, The (1999-)
Herman, Tom, Columnist, Wall Street Journal, Tax (1996-)
Cheever, Ben, Author (2001-)
Moore, Michael, Author (2001-)
Moderated by Mr.Herman, three authors discussed living in America while working for minimum wage as an "unskilled" worker. Michael Moore is the author of Stupid White Men: And Other Sorry Excuses for the State of the Nation! Barbara Ehrenreich is the author of Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America. Ben Cheever is the author of Selling Ben Cheever: Back to Square One in a Service Economy. The authors argued that no job is truly "unskilled," and that all workers, even those in the lowliest occupations find pride in a job well done.
