Finding that social security comes up short, often underwater on mortgages, these invisible casualties of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens of thousands in late-model RVs, travel trailers, and vans, forming a growing community of nomads: migrant laborers who call themselves "workampers." In a secondhand vehicle she christens "Van Halen," Jessica Bruder hits the road to get to know her subjects more intimately. Accompanying her irrepressible protagonist, Linda May, and others, from campground toilet cleaning to warehouse product scanning to desert reunions, then moving on to the dangerous work of beet harvesting, Bruder tells a compelling, eye-opening tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy--one that foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us. At the same time, she celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of these quintessential Americans who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive. Like Linda May, who dreams of finding land on which to build her own sustainable "Earthship" home, they have not given up hope."--Jacket flap. 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. 650 7 $a Casual labor. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00848478 650 7 $a Older people $x Employment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01199105 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 4 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Human Geography. 650 4 $a BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Economic Conditions. 650 4 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Social Classes & Economic Disparity. 941 $a 71 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710035616.0 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626011037.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611023008.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014405.0 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314014253.0 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305014051.0 952 $l SWPB522 $d 20240229011518.0 952 $l SMPE094 $d 20240104014814.0 952 $l JNPC081 $d 20231227013256.0 952 $l UGPF911 $d 20231207014646.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20231012012302.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010014405.0 952 $l WCPC115 $d 20230629023634.0 952 $l P1AX906 $d 20230620011849.0 952 $l KKPB566 $d 20230404013557.0 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331014317.0 952 $l GKPC851 $d 20230228020913.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210024043.0 952 $l AWPD207 $d 20230209015320.0 952 $l BXPC851 $d 20221103010505.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909044936.0 952 $l TPPB062 $d 20220730010551.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013322.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518021827.0 952 $l SKPC094 $d 20220402012903.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20220201014412.0 952 $l RZPE145 $d 20211130012121.0 952 $l TKPE492 $d 20211118020615.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20211020010854.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20211007010218.0 952 $l JZPB162 $d 20210831010403.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20210824010509.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20210728010926.0 952 $l GPPC641 $d 20210727010602.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707013018.0 952 $l HHPC765 $d 20210618010107.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210320010034.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20201016011334.0 952 $l GFPE771 $d 20200806013805.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529012525.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214021135.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20191211013730.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717034051.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20190417010854.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20181225013121.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20181205011920.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010012709.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20181005010346.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20180925010345.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20180907014815.0 952 $l PGAX715 $d 20180814091929.0 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20180726013821.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720050249.0 952 $l NKPD993 $d 20180718042236.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20180704043633.0 952 $l HWAX074 $d 20180524044748.0 952 $l ORAX826 $d 20180427010155.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20180426011547.0 952 $l YMPD532 $d 20180410013910.0 952 $l WUPB305 $d 20180405020133.0 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20180405015700.0 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20180313012454.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20180313011955.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20180309010851.0 952 $l ZXPC675 $d 20180117080249.0 952 $l YUPD232 $d 20180109011812.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20171229010648.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20171212021403.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20171202011059.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20171101010751.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20171003012219.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=14FABF1E9D0011E7B5694BF696128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
