Daily Breeze reports for September 6, 2010 how the decline in the U.S. Economy has caused over 8.4 million people to lose jobs and the "unemployment rate ticked up to 9.6 percent. Some jobs that have been lost may never be recovered in fields such as information technology and financial services.Real estate has been an industry with increases in job loss and has effected the construction industry as well. This increase in job losses among the country may effect the Democratic Party and future elections. There is hope and it is estimated that by 2014 most jobs will be regained. There are new industries forming and job sites that have and will work to assist the unemployed. This article was simple and straight forward. This is a hot topic right now and is an interesting aspect of what is going on in our country. Although it has been touched on in the news and media, it is of great value.
Daily Breeze reports,"Nine years later many claim to Ground Zero". This article is on how many people were effected by 9-11.
One woman remembers her firefighter son Christian. "My son's beautiful remains are forever scattered, "she says. "Ground Zero is a burial ground." A taxi driver named Noureddine Eldberhoumi says that he cannot really discuss his religion because after 9-11 people were so effected by it. He says, "In their mind, Islam is always going back to Iraq, Afghanistan 9-11, that's it." The author points out a very true point in that everyone was effected in some way. Author of the article, Samantha Gross says, "Everyone had lost something. A child. An acquaintance. A sky-line. A sense of safety..." This article was really well written and had many interesting perspectives of different people who were touched, hurt or impacted by the tragic event we all remember. 9 years later it is sad to see people fighting over the land and there is the debate in whether the mosque should be built two blocks away from Ground Zero. We know Ground Zero is a place where many lost their lives and it would seem that the freedom museum that families discussed seems appropriate. Of course there are potential business deals and it is in the prime location of New York. Whatever the outcome, Gross points out that, "The memorial was always intended to become a vibrant space again-"
Daily Breeze newspaper reports how the Economy has effected the elderly and the disabled. Staff writer Muhammad El-Hasan says that older people have a harder time getting jobs. Some factors have to do with liability and health insurance costs. El-Hasan interviews a woman named Lisa Chavez, who is unable to pay her rent and is facing a crisis of possibly becoming homeless. Although this is a very difficult situation, there are opportunities for people and there are career centers such as the Carson Career Center. Barry Waite, who runs the Carson Career Center suggests, "They have to reinvent themselves." The CCC offers job training, searching and other helpful tools in finding a job. They even "...added a job-training program for people 55 and older." This article was informative and interesting. It was helpful to people who need assistance with jobs and gave you a personal insight on what challenges people are facing.
