Working Hard, Working Poor: a Global Journey by Gary S. Fields is reviewed. The book draws attention to the situation of employees in developing countries. Fields shows the problem of the poverty of the employed and elaborates on its scale, reasons and the possibilities of fighting it. According to the author, the main objective of the book is to show how poor people work rather than, like most of the literature, how they live. The book offers a lot of examples which are helpful in presenting the introduced issues and solutions.
