Of course, the white collar employees have a home to return to at the end of the day. Employees complaining about managment, drug testing, ineffectual and demoralizing management is as much a "white collar" (and high pay) issue as it is a "blue collar" (minimum wage) issue. Sometimes it seems that the author never held a real job in her life. If you are going to work at WallMart, don't be shocked about having to return clothes to the a rack. If you are going to try your hand making a living as a maid, you should not be surprised about having to clean toilets or carrying a vaccuum. Also, much of the writing has an "elitest" tone to it. The problem I have with the book is the editorializing, and even more so, the incessant whining of the author. Is it possible to live on a minimum wage salary? This book raises some very interesting social and political issues.
