At Work, in Budapest

In the 1970s more than a quarter of a million commuting labourers worked in Hungary. Breaking away from agriculture, they took on work in town, and returned home only in the weekends to see their families who remained in the village. Such was the life of András Skarbit from Tiszaeszlár, who became an unskilled labourer in Budapest.
