Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America

What policy initiative to help low wage workers might be suggested by this observation?

Even when Ehrenreich has a job with an adequate salary (relative to her rent),
she experiences periods in which she can barely survive, at least temporarily. Why is
this the case? What policy initiative to help low wage workers might be suggested by
this observation?

I'm sorry, please provide the section in question. Policy is discussed repeatedly over the course of the book, and I do not know which specific section you are referring to.
