A Confluence of Misery
Friday, January 8th, 2010
· St. Louis workplace shootings – 4 dead, 5 wounded
· Conference Board survey: U.S. worker satisfaction at 45% new 20 yr. low
· Dec. 2009, U.S. employers shed 85,000 more jobs – 17.3% of Americans are unemployed, underemployed or discouraged
· 37% of U.S. workers are bullied and in 2009, 28% said the abuse worsened with the recession
· Number of suicides by those who lost their identities and life purpose when their economic status was reduced to rubble — unknown, but surely rising.
All the happy talk about an economic recovery (for the publicly funded mega-banks) is balderdash in light of the reality for working people. Let’s drop the Dow Jones number obsession and start measuring what counts in real people’s lives. Until there’s an active social movement, the politicians will continue to cater to corporations.
