Presenting a Labor Day Program with excerpts of interviews conducted for the book "Working: People Talk about What They Do all Day and How They Feel About What They Do"
This is the Labor Day Program. The newsboy doesn't mind his job except when dealing with people who are mean to him or when people owe him money. The farmer recalls being so poor he was born in a cotton sack out in the farm fields because his parents couldn't afford a hospital stay. The waitress has been serving people for 24 years. She said she needed money quickly and cash tips came in handy.
