NEPAL Mong La -- Workers at a lodge take a break in the kitchen during the high trekking season. Hundreds of Nepalis from villages at lower elevations migrate temporarily to work as labourers in the lodges of the Khumbu Himal (Everest region). Nepal's sluggish economy means the competition for jobs is high and this drives down wages. Nevertheless, many workers return for the next season. Workers in these lodges do long hours each week, though do get three months or more off work per year (in the slower seasons like winter and summer) -- Picture by Jon Mitchell / Lightroom Photos
MOJO, ETHIOPIA - DECEMBER 12, 2011: Mr. Abebaw Gessese received a $128,000 loan from Dashen Bank thanks to USAID's Development Credit Authority's 50% credit guarantee. The loan enabled him to expand his poultry farm and employ more workers (half of which are women), add to the country's economy, increase exports, provide additional protein for clients, and clean water for the local community through his well.

May Day is May 1, and refers to any of several holidays celebrated on this day. May 1 was a traditional summer holiday in many pre-Christian European pagan cultures, and many elements of these holidays are still celebrated on May 1 today, such as the Maypole. While February 1 was the first day of Spring, May 1 was the first day of summer: hence, the summer solstice on June 25 (now the 22nd) was "midsummer."
In the Roman Catholic tradition, May is observed as Mary's month, and May Day is usually a celebration of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In this connection, Mary's head (in works of art, school skits, etc.) will often be adorned with flowers. Another May Day tradition (fading in popularity since the late 20th century) is the giving of May baskets, small baskets of candy and/or flowers, usually left anonymously on neighbors' doorsteps.
In the United States, May Day is officially observed as Loyalty Day.
May Day also refers to various socialist and labor movement celebrations conducted on May 1, unrelated to the traditional celebrations to commemorate the Haymarket martyrs of 1886 and the international socialist movement generally. The latter event is an important holiday in Communist and Socialist countries.
In recent years, London based group the Space Hijackers have held events on May Day. These include Mayday Anarchists vs Members of Parliament Cricket in 2005, and a Police Victory Party in 2006. In 2007 the group planned a "Suited and Booted" [1] party in the City of London, the financial centre of London.
In addition, May Day in the United States is commonly regarded — at least by certain groups — as a commemoration of the execution of the Haymarket martyrs who were arrested after the Haymarket Riot of 1886 in Chicago, Illinois, which occurred on May 4, but was the culmination of labor unrest which began on May 1. The date consequently became established as an anarchist and socialist holiday during the 20th century, and in these circles it is often known as International Workers' Day or Labour Day. In this form, May Day has become an international celebration of the social and economic achievements of the working class and labor movement.
The earliest May Day celebrations appeared in pre-Christian Europe, as in the Celtic celebration of Beltane, and the Walpurgis Night of the Germanic countries. Although the pagan-oriented celebrations faded as Europe became Christianised, a more secular version of the holiday continued to be observed in the schools and churches of Europe well into the 20th century. In this form, May Day may be best known for its tradition of dancing the Maypole and crowning of the Queen of the May. Today many Neopagans, especially Wiccans, celebrate reconstructed versions of the old pagan holidays on May 1.
Just to make it clear, there are two workmen in this photo, you can just see the boot of the 2nd worker in between the legs of the 1st. Martin Parr, you are a great inspiration!

Seen from the Emirates Air Line, the London City airport. The airport is close to the financial centers of London and financiers/workers from those areas are the primary users of the airport. The airport opened in 1987 and could at that time handle only small prop planes designed for its steep glidepath (for noise abatement reasons); the runway was extended in 1992 allowing for larger jets, but still only a limited set of planes can use it due to it continuing to have a steep glidepath. Also, due to the narrowness of the site there are no taxiways, so the total volume of traffic is also limited. There were, though, over 4 million passengers in 2015 and British Airways offers a transatlantic flight to JFK that, westbound, stops in Dublin for additional fuel. (See the Wikipedia)
The tall structure in the foreground crossing the body of water is the Royal Victoria Bridge, a pedestrian bridge in the London Royal Docks residential development area (see nearby picture).

Aug. 29, 2013. Boston, MA.
Hundreds of fast-food workers demanding $15-an-hour wages, better benefits and the right to unionize picketed outside of nine chain restaurants, including Burger King, McDonald’s, and Dunkin’ Donuts, and ended at a rally on Boston Common at which U.S. Senator Markey, Boston City Council members, and mayoral candidates spoke. Thousands of workers across the country joined in the one day strike. Over 3.6 million people work at more than 200,000 fast-food restaurants. They are paid about $9 an hour, on average — often with no benefits and irregular schedules.

We stayed with Jessica's family in the Kolkata China Town Tangra. The Chinese population, now down to something about 5000 people, was famous for running tanneries. Some of them are still working nowadays, although most of them were forced to close down due to environmental restrictions.
