Where are jobs?

I keep hearing on t.v, and in the paper, that there are suppose to be so many jobs out there, but anyone I know can not find a job, this is people in different states, some with college educations, others with real good experience that can not find any job at all.

When I look in the paper to see what is out there, there is no job in there that anyone can live on, like retail, and fast food, there are a lot of paper routes, that pay better then fast food, but after gas in your auto, and wear and tear on it, that will take up the extra money it pays, so where are people to turn?

What is a family to do? Everyone take on more then one job, and send no time together how can that be good for their children? How can the government let it come to this in the land of plenty? With times like this I am so glad my children are grown, hate to say it, but do not know how we would make it in this world if they was small.

You have brought up some very good questions. Where are the jobs. They are few and far between these days.

I, too, dont understand how people with young children are making it these days.

With jobs not paying all that well and gas and grocery prices and the cost of everything being so high, its hard on everyone except the very rich.
