Undesirably Wanted: Needed Workers Overlooked

For many, a job is a way to earn a living and support their families. For others, it’s a way to kill time and keep themselves busy. There are however, jobs that must be completed that are often not thought of or acknowledged.

Have you ever considered picking up trash, disposing of used needles or picking up animal feces?

I tried to capture some of these jobs and the hard workers who complete these often forgotten tasks. All of the pictures include the worker, however, they are not always the focus. Some of the pictures focus on the tools and equipment used or the person’s workspace. I have kept all of the pictures in color to better show their work environments. In addition, I have attempted to get the workers and their reflections and use the rule of thirds.

What job would you be willing to fulfill to earn an income and use your time efficiently?
