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?

Scott Little Bridge Technician 52 years old Bluffton, OH 45817

What is one thing about your work that most people don't know

I inspect bridges and culverts to assure they're safe. Then I enter all of the data into the computer.

What makes you most proud of the work you do?

Everyone assumes the bridges are safe they drive over. Most of them are. It's one less worry in our lives.
