Connie Mulvin clicks on her headset and stares at her computer screen. "Thank you for calling PBS. My name is Connie. How may I help you?" the 47-year-old woman says in her friendly, lilting voice. This could be a scene from any of a number of call centers throughout the United States or the offshore locations where American companies sometimes send their call-center work. Except this is a 5-by-10-foot storage room in the back of Mulvin's trailer at a Des Moines, Iowa, mobile home park. Nearby sits Mulvin's oxygen tank. |
