The Blue Collar Worker in America

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.

He joins Host Larry Mantle to discuss the blue-collar worker in America.
