Personal Stories of the Great Recession

Fox Business covered four personal stories of the "Great Recession" by Janna Herron.

Again, seeing these stories, I think just helps the plight of the unemployed and makes it a reality for those that are working.  The mentality we had of "our future is in our hands" is no longer a mindset that an unemployed person can hold on to.

I think what this society is starting to lose focus on is that the loss of these jobs equals losing the workers over 40,  losing  an entire culture who had a high work ethics. The next generation of employees have short-term goals, just put in what is least expected on a minimum basis, yet they have a sense of entitlement, expecting raises, corner offices, flexible work hours, vacation time immediately after getting hired, without putting in the time or merely "earning it".
