{"product_id":"hired-james-bloodworth-9781786490162","title":"Hired: Six Months Undercover in Low-Wage Britain","description":"Cracking open the gig economy, journalist James Bloodworth spends six months undercover working the most grueling low-wage jobs. He lives on the meager proceeds and discovers the anxieties and hopes of those he encounters, including working-class men and women, young students striving to make ends meet, and Eastern European immigrants. From a harrowing Amazon warehouse to driving for Uber, Bloodworth uncovers horrifying employment practices and shows how traditional working-class communities have been decimated by the move to soulless service jobs with no security, advancement or satisfaction. But this is more than an expos  of unscrupulous employers; this is a gripping examination of a divided society which needs to understand the true reality of how other people live and work, before it can heal.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Bloodworth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1786490161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781786490162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atlantic Books (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.90d","brand":"James Bloodworth","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996428108031,"sku":"9781786490162","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_02e8a061-a93a-4676-8d89-f0d55e3a63d1.jpg?v=1683341636","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hired-james-bloodworth-9781786490162","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
