This really hit home for me. All too often we view the unemployed as a statistic, but this article really put a human face on the issue. As pundits & politicians argue about various macroeconomics theories, levels of taxations etc. there are real life people out there trying to find a way to live, never mind advance in life. It's gut wrenching.
- danilocampos 15y agoBizarre to me to see this downvoted. Callous privilege of working in a booming industry while the rest of the economy is constipated, I suppose.
- kubrickslair 15y agoYes, but I also feel that things are not going to get any better for most of the general population who got laid off.
- kubrickslair 15y agoNot sure why you are getting downvoted, except that your comment may come off as rather sentimental. I distinctly remember few years in my middle school, when my family business was not doing that well. I could still get pretty much anything I wanted, but just the negative vibe at home had an impact on me.
