Abstract
With the importance of appreciating how workers talk about and view their jobs including their employment milieu, and any changes to these over time, this chapter will briefly explore the major developments in the world of work as highlighted by previous scholars. In so doing, this will allow us to better locate and understand the lived experiences and narrative identities (see Foster 2012) of those who stories are included in this book.
