Good morning! I hope that everyone enjoyed a wonderful holiday weekend here in the States and a Funday Monday elsewhere. ☺ Please give a warm welcome to author, Cynthia Racette, joining us today with her book - Uncharted Fate!
Why I Wrote About Unemployment
Unemployment is a sad fact of life today, but no one writes about it. In many cases, it's the elephant in the room. The reality is, unfortunately, a part of the lives of someone we know and love. No one is immune these days, it seems.
Nearly everyone has a loved one who is unemployed or underemployed, through no fault of his own. Cousin Katie lost her job when they cut one shift of the factory she works in. Uncle Bob is an older person who has been unemployed for nearly two years. There are very few jobs for persons who are older and competing with recent college grads. With many long term unemployed, unemployment runs out, food stamps are cut, and a family is left hanging, going into debt and farther and farther behind on a mortgage on a house that is under water.
