Day Labour / The Life of a Day Labourer

A day labourer is a person who leads his life by the sweat of his brow in various fields. He is healthy, string and stout. He lives with his family in a slum and lives a subhuman life. He is usually employed in agricultural and construction work. He works form morning to evening according to the direction of his employer. He gets up early in the morning and goes out in search of work. In the evening he gets his wages. Then he goes to market, buys his daily necessaries and returns to his house. He has both pleasures and pains.

 If he earns more, he gets pleasures. When he fails to do that, he gets pains. Sometimes he and his family go without food. The life of a day labourer is full of sorrows and sufferings. In good or dab weathers he has to work hard. He does not know what resist is. Though the service of a day labourer is great important, he does not get his due respect. So we should have soft feeling for him so that he can lead a decent life with dignity.
