In his new book The Mind At Work: Valuing the Intelligence of the American Worker (Viking), Mike Rose talks about how jobs done by waitresses, plumbers, hairdressers and other blue-collar workers are not mindless at all. Rather, Rose writes that they require complex analytical and interpersonal skills that often go unappreciated by society-at-large. He joins Host Larry Mantle to discuss the blue-collar worker in America.
