But man oh man I detest these hard luck stories. She's been working 32 hours a week for the past 4 years - what the hell has she been doing with the other 136 hours? If she would have spent a couple of days off walking around an upper middle class neighborhood, knocking on doors and offering to walk dogs or weed gardens, the woman would have had some savings. Assuming she isn't a complete and total slacker, she'd quickly gain a reputation and she could move into cleaning homes and baby sitting. I have no sympathy for those who believe the world owes them a living.
***Her problem is that she only works 32 hours a week.***
And if she worked a full 40 hours she would be griping that the hours were too long!
I remember back in 1962 it was predicted that work week would be 32 hours to give all the population a job.
