I would like to see the figures on what percentage of working people hold two or more jobs now. It may be the highest in the history of the country. A lot of people who used to work one well paid full time job with overtime available are now working two or three part time jobs with low pay. I am supposedly retired and have worked two part time jobs a lot of the time lately. Now I am down to one gig as an independent contractor doing telephone work from my home. I feel very fortunate to be averaging about fifteen an hour doing that. Twenty years ago I wouldn’t have sat and watched TV for fifteen dollars an hour.
The “new normal” of Baraq. It’s a testimonial to how dumbed down the electorate is now that he won re-election.
