Everybody has a job. But do our jobs define us, or do we define our jobs? Acclaimed author Studs Terkel wanted to know, and so he interviewed hundreds of ordinary Americans for his groundbreaking book Working. Multiple composers give music to the stories of their lives, which like ours are sometimes funny and sometimes sad. But from the Monday morning blues to the second shift blahs, their stories will touch you in a way that only the truth can.
