Spiritual fact, not human categories, determines employment

Aylein Eckles Konrad

I Had seen a segment of a television program that focused on unemployment caused by cutbacks in jobs in a particular area, and I was saddened and disturbed. It seemed that for these workers loyalty to a company, years of experience in a certain line of work, and good productivity had suddenly been devalued to the zero point. Finding new employment appeared to be almost impossible. The positions for which they were qualified were unavailable —too many people for too few jobs. Other jobs appeared out of the question because these workers were overqualified for them.

Phased out? Overqualified? There is something you can do about unemployment.
