Original source Radio was a new thrill for many Americans in the twenties, but it had extraordinary value for the isolated farm families of the Midwest, for whom solitude loomed as a daily problem. Radio was a source of music and fun, information and weather reports, and it was an easy way to enjoy the pleasure of other people's company. In-person visiting was a special event that often meant putting on dress clothes and serving cakes and lemonade and gathering politely in the parlor; frequently the press of chores or bad weather made that impossible. But with a radio, women could continue their housework as they listened to a friendly voice; men working in the barn had access to weather reports and farm programs. From Stern, Jane and Michael Stern. Two for the Road: Our Love Affair with American Food. Boston: Houghton, 2005. Print.

Original source For those who can't afford to be fussy about status or pay, there are of course plenty of jobs in America. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants crowd into the country every year to work in lawn maintenance, on construction crews, or as housecleaners, nannies, and meat packers. Even in the absence of new job creation, high turnover in the low-wage job sector guarantees a steady supply of openings to the swift and desperate. To white-collar job seekers, these are known as "survival jobs"—something to do while waiting for a "real" job to come along. From Ehrenreich, Barbara. Bait and Switch: The (Futile) Pursuit of the American Dream. New York: Owl-Holt, 2005. Print. The passage appears on pages 202-03. ______________________________________ According to Ehrenreich, these "survival jobs" are something to do while waiting for a real job to come along.
