Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do is a nonfiction oral history by Studs Terkel, first published in 1974. Rather than presenting a conventional sociological study, the book assembles more than 100 interviews with Americans from a wide range of occupations, including laborers, service workers, clerical employees, tradespeople, managers, and executives. Terkel’s purpose is to explore what work means in daily life: not only how people earn a living, but how they experience dignity, frustration, boredom, pride, exhaustion, and identity through employment. The book is built around firsthand testimony, so its power comes from the variety of voices and the contrast between what different workers value in their jobs. As a result, it functions both as a portrait of the American workforce and as a meditation on the emotional and social costs of labor.
