Where are the Missing Five Million Workers?

8. Been there, for 8 years, I remember the constant anxiety.

Got caught up in the deep recession of late '70's, did not enter the official job market again for 7 years, and had to move across the country to find a job.

At least back then there was some "recovery" available at the end of the struggle.

FWIW..a long time friend of mine has supported herself since 1981 by starting then expanding a garden,
specializing at first in garlic, then jams, jellies, homemade dog biscuits, even baking bread.
Every year she was able to depend more on her organic garden, as word of mouth spread.
She is still at it today.
