People getting full-time jobs which do not pay enough for them to live on is not a sign of a healthy economy. Sure, they can bundle up with two or three roommates and get by. Or maybe they can live with their parents. There is no middle-class in that scenario and no family formation either. That is what people are sensing.
We do not have a healthy economy at present. Government bleeds too much out of the economy and produces too little in return. Large corporations use government to protect themselves from competition and inhibit new businesses which might be more productive. The takers outnumber the makers.
I work part time at Home Depot I had to pick up a part time job to supplement my retirement, in the last two years I can not believe how many seniors are working with me!! Home Depot is no longer hiring full time staff they are hiring a ton of part time seniors!! I feel so blessed everyday that I am healthy enough to work, I don’t know how seniors are surviving in this economy!!
