Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First CenturyFrom the beet fields of North Dakota to the National Forest campgrounds of California to Amazon's CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older Americans.

From the beet fields of North Dakota to the National Forest campgrounds of California to Amazon's CamperForce program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor 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.

On frequently traveled 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.

In a secondhand vehicle she christens "Van Halen," Bruder hits the road to get to know her subjects more intimately. Accompanying Linda May and others from campground toilet cleaning to warehouse product scanning to desert reunions, then moving on to the dangerous work of beet harvesting, Bruder tells a compelling, eye-opening tale of the dark underbelly of the American economy--one that foreshadows the precarious future that may await many more of us. At the same time, she celebrates the exceptional resilience and creativity of these quintessential Americans who have given up ordinary rootedness to survive. Like Linda May, who dreams of finding land on which to build her own sustainable "Earthship" home, they have not given up hope.

Great for Everyday
Size: X-Small, Color: Light Grey Heather/Navy/White
We have a pretty big toddler and these are the perfect every day shirt. Great price, easy to wash and the fit is perfect for our big boy, who's got a long torso and most toddler clothes are not long enough. Coming back to buy more

Helpful & Honest
Size: Medium, Color: Dark Olive/Light Blue/Snake, Size: Medium, Color: Dark Olive/Light Blue/Snake
These boys’ T-shirts. Size M are such a great find! The material feels premium. soft yet durable and they hold their shape perfectly after washing. Style perfect for school, playdates, and even to bed because he said they’re “super comfy.” I appreciate how breathable they are for active kids. Definitely a must-have for parents who want both quality and comfort! I’d love to try more styles from this brand.

Sweet tees!
Size: X-Small, Color: Terracotta/Tiger Faces/Yeti, Size: X-Small, Color: Terracotta/Tiger Faces/Yeti
soft and really cute t shirts. I bought some for my eldest son but then quickly ordered a set for my youngest son. They have been so excited to match. I feel like they shrunk a bit or maybe the sizing is off for my boys. I don’t know that they would fit past this summer. I love the fact that they are 100% cotton- win in my book!
