According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 20 million workers earn less than $9 an hour
- not enough to buy the basics in some areas. In a series of special reports, NPR's Noah Adams
travels throughout the US to profile the low-income workforce, talking with people about their
jobs, their families and their hopes for the future.
