I find the recession and the state of our economy completely depressing. The downturn has had a profound effect on me, as my mother has been out of work for a year and a half now, and I’ve been supporting her and my two younger siblings since then. She finally found a part-time job a few weeks ago, so I have hope that it’s turning around, but I think it’s going to be a really slow, painful process until we’re all back on our feet again. Especially for people like her who are too old to be the ideal, ambitious 20-something employee. Hopefully someone will give her a chance soon.
