The unemployment rate is about as low as it's has ever been despite the "globalization" taking place. Thus, there are plenty of jobs available out there to enable workers to take care of their families.
So I read.
Where I live, there are (rounded off) 23,000 fewer jobs than there were in 1997, 190,000 more people and 150,000 fewer jobs than in 2000.
Sure, unemployment is low...at McDonald's, maybe.
