Sadly it has become what a lot of people can find in today's economics.

I can't tell you how long my dad worked for minimum wage after his factory got shut down.  He did what he had to do....for a long time.

We struggled a good bit.

If I had to find a job right now I'd have to take a tremendous cut in pay just to work at all in this area.

Life ain't fair.  But that doesn't mean we can just ignore it.
