I thought she was dead on in her descriptions of how hard it is for unskilled people to earn enough to give their families decent lives. These people are just hanging on...they barely make it from pay day to pay day- any small tragedy can mess them up...it is tragic. Two paychecks from homeless, no real savings...And they pay more for everything than better off people.
