Work & Labor Force
Paid work is one of the important activities in our lives. Most directly, work yields the income we need to provide for ourselves and our families. Our employment also partially defines who we are and can be a source of dignity, respect, and fulfillment. It is one of the main ways in which we interact with people outside our families and make contributions to society as a whole. People spend more of their lives working than in any activity other than sleep.
