Bait and Switch - Barbara Ehrenreich

Bait and Switch: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream By Barbara
Ehrenreich

Bait and Switch is a sequel, of sorts, to Ehrenreich's highly acclaimed
book "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America." Like her last
book, Ehrenreich disguises herself again -- this time as a member of the
middle class. (Annual Salary - $100,000+)

Through, job coaches, networking groups, and the danger of dark colours,
Ehrenreich combines the narrative and the socialogical. Describes the
slow death of the white collar worker and their fast downward mobility
to emotional rock-bottom.
