Job Market Mayhem

 
All I know is that at the end of 2007, just before Obama took office, I lost my $52,000 per year job because it was shipped to China.  Ever since then I have been having to take temp jobs that barely pay enough money to pay for the gasoline to get to those jobs.  I am 45 years old now and I don't think either Republicans or Democrats are going to make it possible for me to have any chance to make a come back and get back to comfortable living.  I have become very frustrated with the job market of today because employers are taking advantage of the job market by paying employees very low wages with no benefits and if the employee says anything about it, the employer just calls the temp agency and replaces the employee.  In my opinion, employers are being allowed to treat their employees as commodities rather than people.  I miss the days when the employee had a voice in the work force through labor unions.
