EYES ON THE FRIES
Young Workers in the Service Economy
Low wages, erratic schedules, no health care, work-school conflicts.
This film looks beyond the stereotypes of carefree and undeserving youth to uncover a reality that millions of young working people know all too well: no matter how hard you work and how well you do in school, it can be difficult to stay afloat when you're coming of age in a "McJob" economy.
But there are ways to improve things - and young people are taking the lead.
An interesting new documentary featuring Eric Schlosser and others:
