How to use worker in a sentence?

1. Nela Richardson:

   We need to stop and really investigate the jobs we are trying to bring back to the economy, these are low-paying jobs. Instead of blaming the worker for making a rational choice during an ongoing pandemic, maybe it's time as a society to look at the jobs we are trying to create.
