Series: American Worker Series
Produced by Long Haul Productions
The American Worker Series examines the meaning of work in people's lives.
"It is about the search for daily meaning as well as daily bread, for recognition as well as cash, for astonishment rather than torpor; in short, for a sort of life rather than a Monday through Friday sort of dying." - Studs Terkel, Working
The American Worker Series examines the meaning of work in people's lives. These stories profile workers' dreams and aspirations; their goals and motivations. Their stories show how they deal with power and authority, humiliation and stress; how they maintain dignity in tedious, thankless jobs; and how they measure their contributions, worth and importance.
Most stories in this series aired on All Things Considered.
