Every morning, staggered by time zones and separated by continents, people around the world wake up and go to work. No two people are the same, and everyone experiences the world differently. Yet we all share one thing in common: we have to go to work.
But after that, all bets are off: we don’t work in the same way or with the same expectations; some people don’t even collect a paycheck. But work shapes who we are, what we think, and how we view others.
Starting Aug. 29, we bring you stories of western Pennsylvanians and their work. From bartenders and CEOs to ironworkers and emergency room doctors, Still Working explores the uneven burdens, dangers, and joys working creates.
