Is our work merely a way to put food on the table, or does it have inherent value? Should our work define us? Does it play too large a role in our lives? Does it make us feel more human, or less so? This issue explores the realities of work for people with various jobs, but also probes the reasons people work and what they hope to gain from their labor. From warehouse workers to poets, food delivery specialists to cloistered nuns, farmers to police officers, this issue considers personal, spiritual, and social aspects of one of the most basic human activities.

James Rebanks prepares to pass on the farm to his children.
Benoit Gautier rides a shuttlebus with dislocated French warehouse workers.
Shira Telushkin asks why young women today are becoming cloistered nuns.
Ben Wray talks to food-delivery riders in three countries about their attempts to organize.
John Clair, a police chief, wants policing to be about relationships, not statistics.
Norann Voll tells how her father taught her to embrace her blue-collar roots.
