XxEzraxX : Well in my dad’s case he was let go from his job but in typical retail fashion they were looking to cut back to save costs yet instead of being honorable about it they look for an excuse to fire you which is what they did with him. The problem is my dad has proven legally that he was let go for the wrong reason. Although he proved that it’s still been difficult for him finding a job. He got back into doing flea markets which is something he did when I was growing up and such just to try and make ends meet. The problem like I said is here locally there is a high unemployment rate which is higher than the national rate. It also doesn’t help that because my Dad is in his 60’s it makes things even rougher because companies are looking for longevity above all.

It is discrimination as far as I’m concern but companies have a habit of simply saying “We’ve chosen to pursue other Qualified candidates.” It’s frustrating because like I said he a lot of experience and I fail to see how someone with over 30+ years experience in multiple fields could not be as qualified as someone in their 20’s or 30’s. As far as I’m concern it is unacceptable.

As far as me… other then the fact that the industry that I chose for my vocation just so happens to be an industry that is extremely difficult to make a living, I am also disabled which limits what I can and can’t do physically. There have been many times both before and during my family’s current hardship that I have said that if I could I would gladly take a midnight to 8AM shift at Wal-Mart stocking shelves. If I could physically and were confident enough that I would be given the job I would do it in a heartbeat; not only to help myself but my family as well.

As someone who has been single for years, the current economic climate makes me in a way feel glad that I’m single because I wouldn’t be able to support someone and a family with the way things are right now. I am pushing 30 so I do want to be able to meet someone, settle down and, the whole nine yards eventually. I just want to be able to be financially stable first even though I know I’m not getting any younger.
