60 Minutes Program Looks at the 99ers

Recommended Posts

60 Minutes interviews the 99ers, people whose unemployment benefits is about to run out after 99 weeks and no jobs insight. This is happening in Silicon Valley, the high tech capital, of all the places in the country. I found the program hard to watch. A executive fiber optics engineer applying a clerical/sales position at Target and can't get an interview. Hard to believe Middle Class America is gone.

"Too young to retire, too old the rehire"

 

Watching the show last night, the above statement kept on replaying in my head over and over and over again! It was really heartbreaking to watch people who've done everything they could for a better life and now to be eating at the 'soup kitchen'... :(
