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

Bait and Switch by Barbara Ehrenreich Bait and Switch : The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream, Barbara Ehrenreich. I first read this having just come off a 4 month job search, and I wasn't terribly impressed with this account of white collar unemployment and hiring practices. Sure, because I'm part of the subject group it's going to seem intuitive to me, but honestly? I can't expect anyone to take those hiring counselors seriously. That said, there's not nearly as much undercover journalism going on these days, and I applaud the author for her effort.
