Today, a personal odyssey in minimum-wage America. After State Department whistleblower and TomDispatch regular Peter Van Buren found himself out of a job and, for months without a pension while his former government employer went after him, he entered the big-box-store minimum-wage economy. From that world he brings us back a vivid picture of life with no way out and no way out. This is the new America and Van Buren catches its grim realities powerfully and in a way I’ve seen no one else do. This couldn’t be a more personal tale of what it means for increasing numbers of working Americans to find themselves down-and-out (even with two or three jobs) in this country.
