Invisible Workers, Laboring in the Shadows
Millions of people around the world work in jobs that aren\u2019t formally recognized or afforded legal protections typical of wage earning jobs. They\u2019re often not even thought of as legitimate work.
\nOn this edition of Making Contact, we\u2019re going to meet people making work where there is no work for them. From recyclers, to border couriers, to waste pickers, we\u2019re exploring the informal labor sector and what some are doing to gain greater recognition, protections, and rights.
