43: Hey Girl, How Are You Making It in America as a Low-Wage Worker?

Update: 2024-07-11

Description

How did the 1996 welfare reform act impact the American working poor?

In this episode, a food service industry veteran (of 20+ years!) shares the harsh realities of her life with me. She tells me all about working in fast food as a child, what it's like to be homeless, what happens when she wants to leave a job (but can't), surviving while living below the poverty line, and more.
