Nickel and Dimed: Undercover in Low-Wage America is a work of narrative nonfiction and undercover journalism by Barbara Ehrenreich, first published in 2001. Based on her experiments living and working in low-wage jobs in Florida, Maine, and Minnesota, the book examines whether a person can survive on the wages available to workers in service, cleaning, retail, and care labor. Ehrenreich approaches the subject as both reporter and participant, using firsthand experience to test the claims often made about welfare reform, labor mobility, and the supposed rewards of hard work. The book is not simply a memoir of temporary hardship. It is a structured inquiry into the economics of poverty, the pressures placed on hourly workers, and the gap between middle-class assumptions and the realities of precarious employment. Its purpose is to reveal how low wages, unstable schedules, and housing costs interact to make self-sufficiency far more difficult than policy rhetoric suggests.
