All Day Long: a portrait of Britain at work by Joanna Biggs
[Serpent's Tail, 2016 978 1 78125 188 1 ]
A fascinating and eye-opening read.
What do people do all day and how does this affect our lives?
Joanna Biggs has interviewed people from Westminster to the Outer Hebrides, and from Liverpool to Lincoln, in a wide range of jobs. Along with what the work entails, she finds out about working conditions and practices, hours of work, pay and perceived status of the different occupations. The final section looks at interns, apprentices and unemployment schemes.
