Summary:

Their jobs often make them feel invisible. They are the low-wage workers who make our clothes, look after our children, and open our doors--the millions of people who form the fabric of our society. Theirs is a world rarely seen. In unseenamerica, a program created by Esther Cohen, hundreds of workers were given cameras and lessons in photography, and then asked to document their lives. Through this collection of black-and-white images--sometimes bleak, sometimes poignant, and always honest--the workers gave voice to their stories.
