Think Your Job is Tough? Tell Your Story and Win!

The Working Person’s Store and Wolverine® Launch “Toughest Jobs” Competition; America’s Workers Tell Their Stories; Winner to be Chosen Online

What’s the toughest job in America? The Working Person’s Store and Wolverine have launched the “Toughest Jobs in America” competition to find and recognize the person doing that job.

“From oil rigs to steel mills; from construction sites to firefighters and EMTs, we recognize and honor the people doing the work that keeps America running,” said Eric Deniger, CEO of Working Person’s Store. “The Toughest Jobs competition gives working people an opportunity to talk about the job they do and why it’s important. The finalists will be posted at our WorkingPerson.com site where our visitors from all over America will get a chance to see the finalists, read their stories and pick the winner by popular vote.”

The winner of the Toughest Jobs competition will receive a complete “work wear makeover” valued at $1,000 courtesy of Wolverine, the co-sponsor of the national event.

“For over a century Wolverine has been dedicated to designing and delivering innovative, comfortable footwear and apparel to the hardest working men and women in America,” said John Estes, National Sales Manager of Wolverine. “We are proud to partner with the Working Person’s Store in sponsoring the Toughest Jobs in American Competition. Though they never ask for accolades, these hard working people support our country, and it is an honor to recognize and support them.”

The www.WorkingPerson.com web site was picked for Internet Retailer magazine’s “Hot 100 Best Web Sites” award, and was on Inc. magazine’s 2008 “Inc. 500” list of the fastest growing privately held companies in America.
