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?
