Detroit Resident Walks 21 Miles A Day To Work & Back

For the past 10 years, 56 year old James Robertson of Detroit has walked an astounding 21 miles to work and back every single day. Even more staggering is the fact that James has a perfect attendance record and has not missed a single day’s work in a decade.

Come rain, hail, sleet or shine James turns up every day at his job with Schain Mold & Engineering. His job pays $10.55 an hour, well above Michigan’s minimum wage of $8.15 an hour but not enough for him to buy, maintain and insure a car in Detroit.
