In 2016, the Working In America initiative launched to collect stories from workers across the country to tell us about the challenges and joys of what they do and how they do it.

Join working people across our country who have shared their work experiences by submitting your story at https://working.org/working-stories/

Below are examples of working stories shared by participants—can you relate? What is something about your job that people don't know?

Jeffrey McGee Facilities Manager & Formerly Incarcerated Drug Dealer 52 years old New York, NY

“You can hustle anything. You can hustle a job…a hustle is not a get over. A hustle is a progression—a hustle is upward, onward, outward movement. As long as you’re moving forward, you’re hustling. You don’t have to be getting over to hustle.”
