Meet the Working Class

This documentary steps away from economic debate to follow five American families trying to get by on wages of eight, ten, or fifteen dollars an hour. The first in a series, it introduces the working class through the daily realities of people balancing bills, jobs, and survival. The film gives faces and stories to the numbers behind low-wage work. A grounded watch for anyone interested in labor, inequality, and everyday American life. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
