Published on October 3, 2024
Fifty years ago, the Chicago writer and radio host Studs Terkel published a book called 'Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do.' Terkel interviewed dozens of people about their jobs: a cab driver, waitress, bookbinder, factory owner, industrial designer, a gravedigger, a carpenter; the book became a classic. It was even turned into a musical and inspired a Netflix show hosted by Barack Obama.
The host of Freakonomics Radio, Stephen Dubner, references the book 'Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do' by Studs Terkel to discuss how various individuals have shared their experiences regarding their jobs.
