Story4.5 out of 5 stars 58
From the Orwellian reach of an Amazon warehouse to the time trials of a council care worker and the grim reality behind the glossy Uber app, Hired is a clear-eyed analysis of a divided nation and a riveting dispatch from the very front line of low-wage Britain. We all define ourselves by our profession. But what if our job was demeaning, poorly paid, and tedious? Cracking open Britain's divisions, journalist James Bloodworth spends six months living and working across Britain, taking on the country's most gruelling jobs.

fascinating, but narration not great
Reviewed: 04-07-19
this is a fascinating look into the working practices of some of the biggest employers in the country. I have to say though, the narrator is very flat, and it listens like a very long news item. He also cannot read out dialogue and sounds a bit like when you text a landline.
