The types of research and evidence used in this essay are shown on the first page where he shows the statistics of the residents of Passiac County living below the poverty line. H also compared them to the state wide level of people living below th poverty line. He also researches the temp agencie and the companies that he is "leased" to.
The author has taken the approach of the worker but still represents the life before this assignment with the paper. He is living this life day to day, but all the while knows that he gets to go back to his normal life in thirty days. I don't think that before this assignment was given to him he thought much about the people who work for Brickforce and other temp agencies, but he is trying his best to stay focused and on task.
I think that the author's credibility is alright. I don't know how to explain it really. He is living this life and going about this month knowing that it will come to an end, and that he will go home to his fiancee. It doesn't seem that he is really living his situation, he just can't wait to get out of it.
I would think that the target audience would be anyone working in temp agencies or lower paying jobs. Maybe to companies who are looking to work with temp agencies?
The message or main poin that I take from this essay is that there are a lot of people working for close to nothing, and doing jobs that most people find boring and don't want to do. That this is how they are trying to do the best they can.
To me, the author's view of the community he is depicting is almost sad. He feels sorry for some of the people he had worked with because he was able to see and be a part of their day to day struggles. He felt disconnected from the world.

Nice job on this! I agree it's interesting that he is really living there, but not necessarily fully feeling the situation since he knows it will end soon, as you mentioned.
