Short-term, part-time work does not pay

We were told we are coming out of the recession.

Rubbish. What’s sadder are the stories we hear about people and their efforts to get employment. Well, I wonder why people even try, because when they get a job, it’s not worth doing.

I know of a man who has been unemployed for a few years and, when offered three weeks’ work, at 12 hours a day, he was, of course, well-pleased. But that soon turned to anxiety.
