20 volunteers take part in an experiment to test their skills against some of the fastest growing jobs in Britain's low-wage sector.
In this episode, they are doing our dirty work - cleaning hotel rooms after a busy party weekend and then sorting through our recycling. While the workers battle to meet performance targets, Anita Rani looks at the bigger picture - can businesses cope with a rise in minimum wage, are we Brits afraid of hard graft and is worker representation a thing of the past?
