Working In The ShadowsA Year of Doing the Jobs Americans Won't Do
What is it like to do the back-breaking work of immigrants?

Combining personal narrative with investigative reporting, Thompson shines a bright light on the underside of the American economy, exposing harsh working conditions, union busting and lax government enforcement—while telling the stories of workers, undocumented immigrants and desperate U.S. citizens alike, forced to live with chronic back pain in the pursuit of $8 an hour.
