What’s the toughest job in America? The Working Person’s Store and Wolverine® invited the working people of America to tell their stories and then vote their pick. When the dust settled, Brian Blosser, a heavy equipment operator from southern Indiana was the 2009 winner of the Toughest Jobs in America competition.
“From big rigs to construction sites we recognize and appreciate the people doing the work that keeps America running,” said Eric Deniger, CEO of The Working Person’s Store. “The Toughest Jobs competition is our way of honoring these millions of unsung heroes.”
The winner of the company received a $1,000 “work wardrobe makeover” compliments of Working Person’s Store and Wolverine®.
When Mr. Blosser was notified that he won the competition, he explained he’d been a customer of Working Person’s Store for some ten years. “I’m hard on my work clothes; I can put this to good use. The Working Person’s Store always has what I’m looking for… this is great!” he added.
“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.”
