500    Originally published: 2017 
504    Includes bibliographical references 
520    From the beet fields of North Dakota to the National 
       Forest campgrounds of California to Amazon's CamperForce 
       programme in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-
       cost labour pool, made up largely of transient older 
       Americans. Finding that social security comes up short, 
       often underwater on mortgages, these invisible casualties 
       of the Great Recession have taken to the road by the tens 
       of thousands in late-model RVs, travel trailers, and vans,
       forming a growing community of nomads: migrant labourers 
       who call themselves 'workampers.' On frequently travelled 
       routes between seasonal jobs, Jessica Bruder meets people 
       from all walks of life: a former professor, a McDonald's 
       vice president, a minister, a college administrator, and a
       motorcycle cop, among many others; including her 
       irrepressible protagonist, a onetime cocktail waitress, 
       Home Depot clerk, and general contractor named Linda May
