For many Americans, work provides a sense of purpose, accomplishment and identity. Professional achievements are often seen as a validation of one's skills, intelligence and worth.
Workplaces often serve as important social environments where people form relationships and a sense of community.
Work defines who we are. Work has become the core of our self-image and our public image. We are what we do.
Economic pressures and the need for dual-income households prioritize work over family in terms of identity.
