But that simple fact encompasses an incredibly wide range of experiences. \u003ci\u003eHard at Work\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers into the day-to-day work experiences of more than fifty working people in Singapore who hold jobs that run from the ordinary to the unusual: from ice cream vendors, baristas, police officers and funeral directors to academic ghostwriters, temple flower sellers, and Thai disco girl agents. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through first-person narratives based on detailed interviews, vividly augmented with color photographs, \u003ci\u003eHard at Work\u003c\/i\u003e reminds us of the everyday labor that continually goes on around us, and that every job can reveal something interesting if we just look closely enough.
