WORKING [profiles of single workers in the global economy]

Working. It's what most of us do for half our waking lives. It's how we feed and clothe ourselves and how we support our families. It shapes our sense of who we are, and of where we fit in the scheme of things.
Working is also what connects us. Almost everything around us is the product of human labormuch of it performed in faraway places, by people we will never meet.
Each month, WORKING brings us into the life of a single worker in the global economy. Intimate profiles of real people with real families, real struggles, real dreams, and real jobs.
Agus Laodi PIRATE $0-$2,000/operation
http://marketplace.publicradio.org/segments/working/pirate.html
Agus Laodi could barely feed his family with his earnings as a cocoa farmer. So eight years ago, with his wife's blessing, he left his Indonesian village to seek his fortune as a pirate. Now he lives in on an island in the Strait of Malacca, slipping out in the dead of night to rob cargo ships with a machete. Sound romantic? Think again.

UPCOMING STORY
Svitlana Svystun's life with The Great Moscow State Circus is nothing if not nomadic. She's a Ukrainian dancer performing an Argentinean "gaucho" act for audiences all over Britain. Most of the year she lives in a six-meter long caravan with her ringmaster husband Andrey and their three-year-old son Maxim. She does two performances a day, six days a week, squeezing them in around her duties as a mom. She likes bringing the storied tradition of Russian circus to the UK. But the roar of the crowd is what really keeps her going. .
