$2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America

Neighbors. I dare you to read $2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America and not be moved by the plight of those living in poverty. Kathryn J. Edin and H. Luke Schaefer found something startling from two decades of research on poverty in America: a growing segment of the population is trying to survive on almost no income. If you think paying a living wage will lead to the loss of jobs, read this book and think about the impact of not paying a living wage. The people described in this book are our neighbors. It’s time we start treating them with respect and with care, just as we want ourselves to be treated. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase $2.00 a Day from amazon.com.
