Summary This is the inside story of what it's like to work long shifts on a production line, sorting and packing eggs: of stacking dishwashers in a hotel kitchen during the day and cleaning an office at night for thirteen dollars an hour. Many so-called 'unskilled' jobs actually require an incredible amount of skill. Dirt Cheap is a unique view of class, poor and middle management seen from the other side of the serving counter, and a very personal experience of what it is like to be underpaid, under-appreciated and part of Australia's emerging underclass
