"Bree, from Florida writes:
Society used to be made up of "Upper", "Middle" and "Lower" Class citizens. It seems the "Middle" has been wiped out. You're either "Rich" or you're "Poor". There isn't an "in-between" anymore. When can we expect to see more jobs out there? And when will Gas prices go down so us "little folks" don't have to struggle???"
"Mark writes:
You must stop out sourcing American jobs. Do not give America jobs away. That is not why Americans gave up their lives in ww2 to see their grand children work in fast food. And don't tell me to re-train for something else because all manner of jobs are going accountants, manufactoring, sales. Please do your job and protect America not international companies."
"Carolyn, from Frendale writes:
Tell me where a man near 60 whose job is closing down where is he suppose to get another job? They took his pension two years ago so that is gone and he is not entitled to SSI for another 4 0r 5 years so tell me how are we suppose to live? Thirty years of working in one place and its gone."
"Maria, from Oregon writes:
There are charges out there that the majority of the new jobs are low-paying. Please, I am sick of political spin. Just tell me where the new jobs have been created and if you anticipate more high-paying jobs and where those new jobs will be."
