Description
"For the last several years, the editors of Word, the pioneering Web magazine, have been sending interviewers - nearly forty in all - across America to talk to people about their jobs. They wanted to document reality, not to advance any overarching thesis or political agenda.". "Recalling Studs Terkel's 1972 classic bestseller, Working, the more than 120 roughly textured monologues that make up Gig capture the voices of our fast-paced and diverse economy. The selections demonstrate how much our world has changed - and stayed the same - in the last three decades."--BOOK JACKET.
