Publisher's Note
For several years, Beth Shulman traveled across the country talking to low-wage workers, and in THE BETRAYAL OF WORK she tells the moving stories of people like Sara, a single mother of three who earns $6.10 an hour, with no sick pay or vacation pay, after working almost a decade at a nursing home in Alabama. For Sara and others like her, writes Shulman, the basic promise of American society--if you work hard, you and your family can make a decent living--has been broken....With a far-reaching argument about what we must do to restore fairness to the American economic order, THE BETRAYAL OF WORK is sure to be one of the most talked-about public policy books of the year.

Industry reviews
"[F]ormer union official Beth Shulman offers a polemical but accessible portrait of America's 30 million-plus underclass....[She] has gathered an impressive array of studies and statistics on the army of working poor."
Business Week - Aaron Bernstein (10/13/2003)
