I loved playing the part of the feisty Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker.
I’ll tell you, Liz Cheney is going to be a very good candidate. I worked with her during the Bush campaigns. She’s smart, she’s focused, she’s disciplined – and she’s got a great back story. She’s got a large family. She’s a great mom. And she’s a hard worker. I think she’s going to be a very effective campaigner.
My parents never went to college. My dad started as an hourly worker.
With the rather stable ratio of labor force to total population, a high rate of increase in per capita product means a high rate of increase in product per worker; and, with average hours of work declining, it means still higher growth rates in product per man-hour.
I am a small party worker. I tried to perform in Parliament. Maximum attendance, maximum number of questions asked and maximum participation in debates.
I’m a very hard worker and I’m proud of it.
I’ve always been a hard worker.
It is actually costlier to hire an immigrant. And yet the farm worker is almost invariably an immigrant. You can’t pay an American to pick blueberries.
At the current $5.15 an hour, the federal minimum wage has become a poverty wage. A full-time worker with one child lives below the official poverty line.
I am going to confront the old-fashioned negative thinking which says that all government needs to do to generate growth is cut worker and environmental protections, cut taxes on the rich and stroke ‘fat cats’ until they purr with pleasure. I’m completely repudiating the idea that government has to get out of the way.
I think I’m a really hard worker, and I feel like my attitude is to just enjoy the process of being creative and developing and ‘just throw a bunch of stuff against the wall and see what sticks.’
The grandmother, the mother, the worker, the student, the intellectual, the professional, the unemployed, everybody identified with the songs because they were descriptions of life in the city.
I have certain values. I know where I come from. I am a hard worker. I’m conscious of my luck.
It is possible for the assembly-line worker consigned to tightening the bolts on the transmission and the office worker who processes medical insurance claims to work with pride and efficiency, but it’s not easy to maintain that attitude.
I want to make a film about a factory worker.
I want to be the best teammate I can be, the fastest learner, the hardest worker, and just go out there in any way that I can help in each game.
Obscene salaries send the wrong message through a company. The message is that all brilliance emanates from the top; that the worker on the floor of the store or the factory is insignificant.
Only by strict specialization can the scientific worker become fully conscious, for once and perhaps never again in his lifetime, that he has achieved something that will endure. A really definitive and good accomplishment is today always a specialized act.
My success, I think it is due to the Mizanan family. Everyone in my family is a hard worker.
When I started working in 2010 on Pinterest, I really thought of myself as like a construction worker, metaphorically, building like you build a shed. You put the brick on top of a brick, and then you’re done.
I for one believe that we absolutely need an improved guest worker program, one that holds immigrants and employers accountable and yet still enables us to get a crop out of the ground in south Georgia.
I’m someone that’s a hard worker and takes their job seriously and gives it all they’ve got.
My dad is a minister, and my mum is a worker with the less fortunate and the disabled. They’re Nigerian natives. Their first language is Yoruba, and their second language is English.
I am an engineer and not a trained social worker.
I don’t set targets because sometimes targets are limits and we don’t like limits. But I’m not a dreamer, I’m a worker.
I’m a hard worker on and off the field.
I am not a woman on Monday, an immigrant on Tuesday, a worker on Wednesday, and a mom on Thursday, I am all of those things all of the time, and I am going to fight for all of those things all of the time.
If I hadn’t been an actor, I probably would have been a social worker.
My dad didn’t graduate high school. My mom is a high school graduate. My mom is a factory worker. My dad owned a bar in the inner city.
When I left home after graduating high school, I left as a migrant agricultural worker with a Modern Library edition of Plato in my duffel bag. It sounds kind of crazy, but I loved it. I loved the stuff. Before I knew there was a subject called philosophy, I loved it.
I was shy and a hard worker, so acting was a way to focus whatever nervous energy I was experiencing onto a goal.
I’m a late developer in everything. I have a fast mind and fast metabolism, and I’m an intense worker, but in terms of life development, I’m way behind.
My mother was a housewife. My father was a garment worker.
I’m signing on to be an athlete, and it’s almost like Karl Marx’s theory on capitalism. I am both the worker and the product. I’m choosing to be a part of this system, thus I’m choosing to be part of the conditions that are set in this system.
My father was brought up in an orphanage in the Catskills. He was a factory worker. And because his family wasn’t there for him, family was everything. We could disagree inside the house, but outside the house it was us against the world. So when I became a drag actor, he looked sideways but said okay.
I was a hard worker, and I always knew my lines.
Please remember that my great grandmother was a slave. My grandmother was a sharecropper. My mother was a factory worker.
I’ll tell you upfront, I think Shawn Michaels was probably the most gifted worker the business has ever seen.
Married or unmarried, young or old, poet or worker, you are still a dreamer, and will one time know, and feel, that your life is but a dream.
I love Evan Turner. I think he’s a great teammate. I think he’s a hard worker. I think he loves basketball. I don’t think you can overvalue that.
There is nothing a worker resents more than to see some man taking his job. A factory can be closed down, its chimneys smokeless, waiting for the worker to come back to his job, and all will be peaceful. But the moment workers are imported, and the striker sees his own place usurped, there is bound to be trouble.
A market where chief executive officers make 262 times that of the average worker and 821 times that of the minimum-wage worker is not a market that is working well. And it is surely not working well enough to build a solid middle class.
I don’t think people realize how good Fit Finlay was. He was the best heel and probably the best worker I’d ever seen.
I thought I would be laying hardwood floors in Colorado – a construction worker. Middle class or working class, that’s where I was! I just fought because I loved it. It was so fun! Being able to go in there and outthink your opponents.
For a long time I was interested in being a social worker. In a lot of ways I feel that that’s all my music is, trying to help people.
It is the lone worker who makes the first advance in a subject; the details may be worked out by a team, but the prime idea is due to enterprise, thought, and perception of an individual.
I was focused on either being a social worker or physiotherapist. That was the direction I was going until I met a girl who wanted to be an actress, and I wanted to be close to the girl, so I followed her into an audition.
The Safe Drinking Water Act, the safety provisions of the Clean Water Acts, the Clean Air Act, the Superfund Law – the gas industry is exempt from all these basic environmental and worker protections. They don’t have to disclose the chemicals they use. They don’t have to play by the same rules as anybody else.
The economy has barely recovered from the so-called ‘Great Recession’, with a 2 percent annual rate of growth since mid-2009. Peak worker wages, business investment, and productivity all occurred around the year 2000.
When you cut investments in worker training, you’re cutting investments in the middle class.
I support secure borders both north and south and I support a guest worker program for those here today illegally. Labor and skilled workers are critical to our Texas economy.
I always call myself a space construction worker.
Like most people, I was not able to start selling my stories right away. So I had many other jobs along the way to becoming a writer, including toy maker, gravedigger, cookware salesman, and assembly line worker. Eventually, I became an elementary teacher and worked with second and fourth graders.
The worker of the world has nothing to lose, but their chains, workers of the world unite.
My perspective of capitalism growing up in Berkeley, Calif. in a low-income project, growing up poor, is that capitalism wanted to destroy me, they wanted me to become a worker.
There will always be frictions when you have a foreign worker population or immigrant population in the country, and we have to manage that, and that requires good behaviour and adjustment both on the part of the foreign workers and the immigrants as well as on the part of the Singaporeans.
My father was a manual worker.
