NEW YORK (AP) — Hearing ordinary people talk about their jobs can provide surprising and moving glimpses of other lives. In Studs Terkel’s 1974 book “Working” he interviewed hundreds of Americans talking about what they did for a living and how they felt about their jobs.

Informed by the long jobless slog of the past five years, the short-lived 1978 musical revue based on the book has been updated, trimmed and reworked, still using the original subjects’ words, with added material from 2007-2008 interviews.
