Re: Jobless in America - Tent Cities
Usually people move to areas that are cheaper to live. Some accept a longer commute, others get different jobs in the newer, cheaper area. Common sense.

Are you trolling? Usually people who are in trouble financially can't afford to move.

Re: Jobless in America - Tent Cities
A record 7 million Americans have stopped making car loan payments.
Rick Sanchez reports on this supreme example
of the continuing plight of American working people, who have by and large been left behind
by Wall Street’s recovery from the brutal 2007-2008 financial crisis.
Economists warn that the next recession to impact the US may be even more disastrous.
What happens to these people if the next one hits?
Economist and co-founder of Democracy at Work Prof. Richard Wolff
joins Rick Sanchez to weigh in.
He discusses the “very, very painful” circumstances
of those facing unemployment, dwindling savings
and a deteriorating quality of life for American workers.
