Understanding what work means is critically important for understanding the lived experiences of millions of people and for research and policymaking. Bruno gives voice to workers who are critically important for society but overlooked by research focused on the managerial and professional class. The nuances revealed by the workers' own words can't be observed in statistical analyses, and the more we learn about their experiences through their own voices, the better. --John W. Budd, author of The Thought of Work
