The Working Poor: Invisible in America by David K. Shipler is a nonfiction work of social reportage that examines the lives of Americans who are employed yet still live below or near the poverty line. Drawing on interviews, observation, and journalistic research, Shipler explores how work alone does not guarantee economic security when wages are low and basic supports are unstable. The book focuses on the everyday realities of families and individuals who move through a system shaped by inadequate pay, fragile housing, limited health care, weak schools, transportation problems, and family stress. Rather than treating poverty as the result of one simple cause, Shipler presents it as a chain of connected pressures that reinforce one another. The result is a clear-eyed account of how poverty remains hidden in plain sight, even among people performing essential labor that sustains the economy.
