In this final part of our series, we’re talking about work — about the right to meaningful work, the search for jobs that pay enough to live, and what happens to people who look for work while also having a disability that’s invisible to most.

Original Air Date: November 19, 2022

Guests:
Andrea Dobynes WagnerAngela GarbesRodrigo ToscanoBarbara Ehrenreich

Interviews In This Hour:
Do they need to know that I'm blind?The work of care is vital. Why don't we pay like it is?A sonnet for a lineworkerBarbara Ehrenreich on writing the American labor story

About Going For Broke: The Care EconomyHow we live is indelibly intertwined with the care and empathy we give to each other. What if we put care into helping Americans find homes and build dwellings, into keeping their bodies and minds sound, and finding meaningful and well-paid work? In this three part series, "To The Best Of Our Knowledge" and the Economic Hardship Reporting Project bring you real life stories about economic struggle in our time, as well as ideas for solutions.
