Publisher's Synopsis
Book & CD. For three years photographer Christine Hauber travelled throughout the US to explore work life at the turn of the 21st Century. The hundreds of images that resulted, as well as the subjects' own words, reveal a surprising amount of worker pride, optimism and satisfaction. Recorded here are the faces and words of ordinary people, who in their diversity and uniqueness offer a cross-section of the richness of American life. Working in the USA, gives readers a glimpse of who and what Hauber discovered during her documentary labour of love. Working in the USA unveils a fraction of the people and places that Hauber recorded, and yet, the variety here takes the reader on a fulfilling journey through America's nearly limitless employment landscape.
