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?

Quang Uber Driver 50 years old Oakland, CA 94601

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

People don't know I drive every day all day long, sometimes I sleep sometimes I don't. Don't tell anyone. I know you're posting this. That's ok. (Laughs) I have candy and water because it makes passengers happy and it's fun for us both. #WorkingInAmerica

What makes you most proud of the work you do?

I love my work because I make money. Good money that's why I like my work.
