Via BoingBoing, the Boston Globe offers a photographic Odyssey of the world recession. The crowds of job seekers, piles of unsold goods, and vacant building sites tell the story.
These photos include a crowd lined up to apply for too-few jobs . . .
And discarded newspaper racks from San Francisco.
I don´t have any photographic evidence, but I was also reminded of the crisis this afternoon when I went to have my hair cut. Another customer was worried because 30 of his colleagues were going to be fired tomorrow.
That is so sad. And scary. I would think even those not laid off must suffer from “survivor’s guilt.”
