Synopsis

This book explores the lives of older Americans who, after the Great Recession, have become a transient labor force, living in RVs and vans while working low-wage jobs across the country. Author Jessica Bruder immerses herself in this community, traveling with individuals like Linda May to reveal the challenges and resilience of these 'workampers.' It's an eye-opening look at a hidden segment of the American economy and the hopeful spirit of those navigating its fringes.
