I truly agree. I'm a social work major and I took a social welfare class. We covered Detroit in one of our class discussions. Unfortunately, the closing of the GM plant has devastated this area and most of the people will not recover from this. I try to reason with this situation. I can only imagine if this man worked for GM, let's say 30 years, I can only imagine how hard it is to find another job in that area. Also, keep in mind the older we get the harder it is to find employment. That's facts! My heart goes out to these innocent children that's missing their childhood. sigh! Great article. I truly agree.

You have to dress for the part. One of the fathers in the episode wore a bleach stained t-shirt and ripped up jeans to go get a job. I would not hire someone who showed up for the application process like that. I also wanted to add that the daughter with the baby had no job and made no attempts to find a job, during the episode. Anyone of legal age to work, should work in situations like this. I also want to say, that I don’t care what you are trying to apply for. You have to dress for the part.

They use your last year's tax return which for some out of work people could be just high enough to edge them out. Also, the energy it takes for an adult to go back to school usually makes it hard to work at the same time, and you can't live on grants. There are many free resources with information about resumes and interviewing techniques--like your local library. I definitely agree that some income is better than no income, and if my writing career fails I will be happy to bag your groceries :)Thanks @Niki and STL :) @Lillie believe it or not, not everyone can qualify for grants.
