My Letter For A Job Worker

“Despite huge advancements in technology and productivity, millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages. The real median income of male workers is $783 less than it was 42 years ago; while the real median income of female workers is over $1,300 less than it was in 2007. That is unacceptable and that has got to change.”

A journalist who has Ph.D in biology wanted to know how people could live with just seven dollars per hour. In Nickel and Dimed, the author, Barbara Ehrenreich, introduces how people live with low-wage jobs. She told that employers sometime see their employees as potential criminal, their employees' work environments do not suit for their works, and the employees's wages does not satisfy what they need to survive.

Together, they made around $83,000 and had around $90,000 in assets which placed them solidly in the middle class. Twelve years later, Allison and David experienced setbacks but increased their income to about $125,000. Their financial assets quadrupled to a whopping $368,000 and saved up thousands of dollars for retirement. However, with the economy downsizing on the heels of the Great Recession and uneven job recovery heavily tilted toward low-wage jobs, David joined millions of other Americans in unemployment. Having spent half a year unemployed, David returned to work working at a significantly lower wage. Over the course of 12 years, David witnessed how work became less stable and more contingent for many Americans. The working experience illustrates a larger transformation in America’s employment landscape, away from middle-class jobs and jobs with significant benefits toward low-paying jobs with few benefits, accelerated by the Great Recession.

Everyone in the world wants and needs to make money one way or the other. People in the world say that money is not everything. Money does not equal successs. Money does not It give back themselves an oppurtunity to feed themselves, or enjoy the luxuries that America has to offer. When reading Wilson's Article, “When work disappears” According to the trading economies in the United States of America, the US unemployment rate was recorded at 4.9 percent in August of 2016, which not been changed two months prior. 7.8 million people in the United States are without jobs. Making it hard for an Average American to live comfortable. William Julius Wilson’s article “When Work Disappears” discusses the disappearance of work in the industrialized

In this article, the author discusses the significance of living wages for workers in the US. The author explains that over the past decades, families have been unable to keep in stride with the cost of living, due to low income. While jobs are being created, they do not provide sufficient wages for many families. Additionally, due to the requirements of some federal assistance programs, individuals must accept these employments, regardless of pay. As the economy has grown, the wages remains the same and many minimum wage earners fall below the poverty line.

I can remember the first hourly paid job I took back when I was 15 years old. I remember being so excited that I was going to have a way to earn some income, so that I would not have to rely on my parents for extra money. I grew up in an average household. My father worked as a tool grinder and made enough money for our family to live and for my mother to be a stay-at-home mom, but we definitely did not have extra money or have the finer things in life. My parents often struggled to pay the bills, but always managed, some how, some way. With that upbringing, I’m not sure that I ever really thought about jobs as much more that a way to earn money. So at a young age, my perspective of what motivated people who work was strictly money. Over the years I have had several jobs, but finally settled on a career in the medical field, or specifically the medical laboratory industry. I started off as a medical lab tech in the US Army and performed that task for 6-8 years. During that time I started to develop thoughts about being a supervisor, because I personally thought that I would do thing different than some of my supervisors. I worked with several people with very different backgrounds and had several supervisors, all with different leadership styles. I could also clearly see that very different things motivated my co-workers and me. Some were motivated by money, some were motivated by helping people, some were motivated by the respect they received from the supervisors

For instance, by 2012 the median salary had only increased by a mere 7 percent sinc3 1973. Decent paying jobs are continually being moved overseas and due to an increasing need for automation, available jobs have declined at a rapid speed since lesser manpower is required in most fields. Those who have lost their jobs as a result of these changes, are often unsuccessful in finding suitable work, much less one that compares to their previous salary. Americans who have managed to remain employed, are not necessarily out of the water either. Company owners and leaders are becoming richer while the poor gets poorer; frequently underpaying their employees and keeping a larger amount of profit for themselves. With such a competitive market for much needed work, employees are often faced with the decision to accept their meager salaries or try to find better work elsewhere. Because other well-paying jobs are harder to find, American’s are becoming increasingly willing to accept the mediocre pay offered to them, even if they know that they are being underpaid

Angela, after working at Gizmos & Gadgets for 11 years she is now a regional manager; been doing the manager gig for 2 years now. Last time I seen her, she been looking real down-and-out. Her husband, Marc told me work is becoming so unbearable for her that it is starting to affect home. Angie has to visit area stores as a result of poor customer service and logistics delays, her subordinates are not meeting deadlines, as a result, a new regional manager has been sent to help her. Angela feels Tim (the regional manager) does not respect her and feels he is constantly telling her what to do. The stress from work has really taken a toll on Ange. I mean she has disregarded her diet, and started to drink and smoke again. I am really concerned about the family being that during last family get-together I witnessed her arguing with Marc over something so insignificant and she does not even have the patience for her son, Joshua. She claims that if only she can

Every American dreams of finding a job that pays well enough so that they may comfortably take care of their loved ones and themselves for years to come. Most Americans hope to find some way to make a living that they enjoy, something that they view as productive. Unfortunately, many do not have this luxury. In our society, a good portion of the population is forced to hold the base of our country in place while hardly being redeemed for their time and effort, and thus the problem of income inequality. Numbers of these people live from paycheck to paycheck, barely getting by, not because they manage their money poorly, but because the value of their time at work is negligible.

It is certainly true that the current law defining the employment status of ‘workers’ is uncertain, as it is wholly inflexible to deal effectively with cases of non-standard forms of employment, atypical workers, for example: agency workers, part-time workers, fixed-term workers, as required workers and homeworkers. Thus, reform is necessary to redress the concerns of lack of legal certainty in relation to this area of the law.

I think the person must have qualifications to choose either a high or low-income job. I do see your view on low paying job being more of a friendly environment, but at the same time I’m sure people would like to do something greater. As for higher paying jobs I think the work environment would be better, but it’s could depend on the person’s job and the tolerance of what’s unpleasant. I do agree that it's not just about the money, but being able to live a good balance work life.

So when you take a job, what is the real purpose for you working that job? Are you working to make others rich? You bet! But what do you get out of that? A steady paycheck? Ok, I 'll give you that one. Is it enough to pay your bills? Hopefully. Will it give you the lifestyle you dream of? Doubtful. Does it give you the time to do all the things you want to do? Hardly. But hey, it 's a job and you can make some money. Fair enough.

Work is also something that you have control over and can change. Even if you feel stuck due to financial responsibilities there are many ways to properly change careers. So, if someone is unhappy in
