Global, national, provincial
and local news concerning unemployment statistics is more than troubling. While
politicians address pressing issues, far from the home site, people of all ages
are struggling to find work.
Once acquired, it takes
commitment, including attention to detail, to keep that precious source of
income. However unfulfilling the paycheque may feel, at least there is one.
In my own municipality I know
of several middle-aged people who are working two part-time jobs and taking
casual shifts with a third employer just to make ends meet. Their lifestyle is
anything but frivolous. Capable able-bodied people are grateful if
consideration is given to them during the interview process and fretfulness
grows as days pass without even a callback.
My own mother has commented
with satisfaction that both my sister, brother and I all have an excellent work
ethic. She led by example and no slackers among us. The stress impact of
starting new employment rates high in studies and graphs – a normally contented
tummy may knot with apprehension and tension headaches love to linger when we
need every cell to focus on the task at hand.
In order to make their work an
ongoing achievement, everyone requires a steady hand on the tiller.
