Underwater on mortgages or finding that Social Security comes up short, they're hitting the road in astonishing numbers, forming a new community of nomads: RV and van-dwelling migrant laborers, or "workampers." Building on her groundbreaking Harper's cover story, "The End of Retirement," which brought attention to these formerly settled members of the middle class, Jessica Bruder follows one such RVer, Linda, between physically taxing seasonal jobs and reunions of her new van-dweller family, or "vanily." Bruder tells a compelling, eye-opening tale of both the economy's dark underbelly and the extraordinary resilience, creativity, and hope of these hardworking, quintessential Americans? Many of them single women? Who have traded rootedness for the dream of a better life. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 $a Older people $x Employment $z United States. 650 0 $a Retirees $x Employment $z United States. 650 0 $a Retirement $x Economic aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Casual labor $z United States. 650 0 $a Working poor $z United States. 650 0 $a Migrant labor $z United States. 650 0 $a Recreational vehicle living $z United States. 650 0 $a Van life $z United States. 700 1 $a White, Karen $q (Karen Elizabeth), $e narrator. 710 2 $a hoopla digital. 856 40 $u https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/11959110 $z Instantly available on hoopla. 856 42 $z Cover image $u https://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/rcb_9781681687193_180.jpeg 941 $a 2 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806021215.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20171202010406.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7D6FE692D72E11E7950E963597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
