As an unaffiliated voter, I am going to interject that the real issue now is the quality of jobs. I have been working a seasonal job on an assembly line 4 days a week 10 hours a day but no benefits like health care. Then I work three days a week at a major retailer but the PT health care is so poor that it is not worth having.My son graduated from UNC in 2010 and is working pt at a grocery store. His best friend graduated UNC-W and has been pt at a grocery store but is joining the Navy as an E-1 since they don’t need officers and he has to start paying his student loans.Bottom line – We all have jobs and do not qualify for unemployment or any kind of assistance but we are all not making it. If you have a FT job, consider yourself fortunate. BTW I have two masters degrees.
