The American Workday Austin D Halbert

The American Workday documents a college student's year spent investigating life outside of the classroom, interviewing and photographing workers from thirty-eight diverse jobs.

From stock clerks to Fortune 500 executives, these workers explain what they wish others knew about their occupations. Furthermore, they reflect on how the conditions of their work have influenced life off the clock. Their insider views serve to shatter misconceptions circulated about different jobs and classes. The stories they share illustrate common motivations, struggles, and triumphs experienced by the 321,954,000 lives carried out within the nation's borders.

Sales of The American Workday will benefit job training programs for unemployed veterans.
