A Working Stiff's Manifesto: A Memoir of Thirty Jobs I Quit, Nine That Fired Me, and Three I Can't Remember

A Working Stiff's Manifesto is a memoir of Iain Levison’s journey through the American working-class labor market in a variety of jobs: cook, mover, truck driver, fish cutter, film-set assistant, crab fisherman, and many others. The book is so funny and entertaining that it is easy to overlook its intelligence; it puts to shame more earnest and agenda-driven books like Nickel and Dimed.
