Description

James Bloodworth's undercover experience in Britain's low-wage sector offers a stark and unvarnished look at the country's social and economic divisions.

Over six months, Bloodworth takes on some of the country's worst jobs, living on the meagre proceeds and discovering the anxieties and hopes of those he encounters, including working-class Britons, young students, and Eastern European immigrants.

This thought-provoking examination of post-Brexit Britain sheds light on the harsh realities of employment practices and the impact on traditional working-class communities, highlighting the need for a more nuanced understanding of the nation's social and economic landscape.
