I’m a retail manager. We have 2 employees currently living in shelters with their families. TWO!!! One of them works 4 different jobs and you can see in his eyes, he is defeated. These are good, hard working people who got behind and have no way to catch up.

My girlfriend works a retail job. Her boss described it as "This job isn't for you to make money, it's for social enrichment."
