The inspiration for Chloé Zhao's celebrated film starring Frances McDormand, winner of the Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best ActressMarch and April pick for the PBS Newshour-New York Times "Now Read This" Book ClubNew York Times bestseller"People who thought the 2008 financial collapse was over a long time ago need to meet the people Jessica Bruder got to know in this scorching, beautifully written, vivid, disturbing (and occasionally wryly funny) book." —Rebecca Solnit From the beet fields of North Dakota to the National Forest campgrounds of California to Amazon’s CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older Americans. 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.On frequently traveled routes between seasonal jobs, Jessica Bruder meets people from all walks of life: a former professor, a McDonald’s vice president, a minister, a college administrator, and a motorcycle cop, among many others—including her irrepressible protagonist, a onetime cocktail waitress, Home Depot clerk, and general contractor named Linda May.In a secondhand vehicle she christens “Van Halen,” Bruder hits the road to get to know her subjects more intimately. Accompanying 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.

Many of the subjects in this book are over 65 years of age. Some are cited as having long careers, until losing their jobs in their 50's. Ridiculously low amounts of Social Security benefits are mentioned. In some cases, $500 a month or less. This doesn't make sense, since with that many years in the workforce, even at modest paying jobs, the benefit should be at least $1500. If a Social Security benefit is as low as claimed, there are supplementary benefits for those over 65, that bring their income up to around $1000, and that doesn't include food stamps. The federal government considers those over 65 as being unable to work, and provides a safety net accordingly. This doesn't even include the help from charitable organizations seniors may receive.No one over 65 is being forced to do heavy physical labor, and live in a van. Those that are, either are too humble to ask for help, or they enjoy the lifestyle. I will venture to say that the majority of seniors couldn't perform these jobs, or endure the lifestyle.The author has an agenda, that portrays these stories as the future for all senior citizens who aren't among the financial elite. I beg to disagree.
