"Presenting Nice Work is fascinating because of the wide range of stories you hear, and the people you get to meet. Not only do we cover the big picture trends and theories, we get up close to the real experience of work, from the people who actually do it.
In this series we ask, are girls getting a raw deal when it comes to being paid for helping out around the home? Anecdotal evidence suggests that boys earn more. We'll be investigating, and giving kids of both sexes some useful negotiating techniques to try out on their parents.
Also in the series, employment rights for members of the clergy. Should clerics be protected from unfair dismissal and discrimination at work in the same way as other employees? The Church of England isn’t convinced - we'll hear the arguments from both sides. And competitive couples - what's it like to live with a partner who does the same job? Does the insight make you more supportive or is career rivalry driving a competitive wedge between you?

Watching You...
If you're one of the millions of people who regularly use the email system at work to keep in touch with family and gossip with friends this edition of Nice Work is for you. A lot of people don't realise that it can be perfectly legal for their bosses to open and read their emails. We'll be finding out how they go about doing that and learning about the new technology being used in the US to keep tabs on staff even when they're at home.
Also in the programme, reporter Mike Johnson will be hearing how widespread prejudice among employers is driving job hunting ex-offenders to lie about their criminal records.
