Our homeless problem

For most of us we have a home. I'm an advocate for the "working poor". I see the growing homeless problem in NJ and America as an epidemic fueled by the ever depressing jobs market. Many of the homeless and/or poor actually have jobs.Often times they have 2 or 3 jobs and work 7 days a week.

What we don't see in the "jobs numbers" or the unemployment figures,are that, if you have a job that's all the stats care about.

So you your "job" may be a neurosurgeon ...or your "job" may be flipping hamburgers. The numbers DO LIE. And increasingly more and more jobs are being taking away from us....even surgeons. And we're not talking about the work going over seas. We are talking about software and robots taking over.

The shift in our markets are very misleading. You can't judge the true health of the U.S. economy and employment by the stock market or unemployment stats.

The stock market is about profit not about jobs and the jobs market is about any and every "job" not about the quality or lack there of, of a job.Hence, more and more people working 2,3,4 jobs just to make ends meet and often staying at the poverty line or below."
