• Barack Obama: “As a college student, I was inspired by Studs Terkel’s book, Working, which chronicled what ordinary people did for a living. Working: What We Do All Day from @HGMedia is a new series that builds on that idea – sharing the stories of people from different walks of life, and giving you a window into the jobs they do every day.”
