"I was a philosophy major, so I did day labor," jokes veteran journalist and professor Dick Reavis.  But he didn't expect to have to go back to day labor at retirement age. But his pension didn't cover costs, so he went back to work, taking a reporter's skills and turning his experience into a book.

Catching Out: The Secret World of Day Laborers tells the story of Reavis's experiences in day labor halls doing all sorts of odd jobs, and looks at the people who often get stuck doing day labor--the bottom of the workforce, as he notes. He joined Laura in studio to talk about his book and his time in the halls.
