Is that in Switzerland or the US? What kind of job are you hoping to find?

It really is amazing, I ran my own business for about twenty years, I knew that technology changes would eventually kill that one but I figured I would simply take a job for my few remaining work years. Well, when the time drew near I realized that there were few jobs open in this area and VERY few that would pay enough to live on. I finally found something and have been working at it for just over three years and my pay rate has risen 35% in three years and is scheduled to go up another 10% in July. Sounds great right? Wait, after the July raise I will only be earning about 71% of what people doing the same job were paid four years ago! Yeah, that's right. I have never belonged to a union and have not supported a Democrat for President since I started voting but I am accused of both every time I disagree with all the rosy economic reporting. I simply don't see it here and when I talk to people in other areas they don't seem to see it where they live either. We have high unemployment here and the new employers that are coming in are offering well below median pay rates. We are at the point now that one year of a GOOD income amounts to as much as my father earned in his working lifetime and yet we hear that inflation has been nearly nonexistent since 1982 and other such nonsense. I am starting to wonder if I live in an alternate reality.
