this was in the star today: Life as a member of the precariat: Fiorito | Toronto Star
it's an eye-opening article, about a 39 year old dude with a university degree that has not been able to find a full-time job that pays more than minimum wage. is this an unusual situation or is the job market really that much worse today than when i graduated?
when i think of my group of friends from highschool, almost all went to university or college and almost all ended up with decent jobs. even the ones that didn't go to university/college ended up as store managers, bank tellers, etc. and worked their way up from there, making a decent living. not all of them could afford or wanted to live in toronto, and so they moved to mississauga, oakville, brampton, barrie or ajax or wherever, and they bought houses and are raising families there.
is it a lot harder to find a decent job these days than it was, say, 10 or 20 years ago, or is the guy in the star article more of an exception than anything else?
