More on "Why Do You Work So Hard"
I found some really interesting statistics in an article entitled "The Disunited States of America" at Ode Magazine. The article states the following: "The minimum wage has fallen by 37 percent since 1968 in terms of real dollars; 11 percent of Americans don’t have enough to eat;..."
Yes, you read that right. And if you read the previous post you're probably wondering about the equity in a huge increase in CEO pay vs. a pretty huge DECREASE in the value of a minimum wage. Is that your idea of a viable society??
I'll leave you to think on this a little more, and in my next post I'm planning on adding to the theme with some thoughts on different ways to approach the issue of work (and all things related to your spending time at work.)
Be happy!

First of all, I love the name of your blog. I am considering establishing a blogroll on my own site, would you like to join?
It's true, what you say about CEO salaries and how those who work the hardest to make a company grow and be profitable are NOT the ones who reap all of the benefits. I gave years of my life to a major corporation, always did terrific work, great performance evaluations...and they laid me off with nary a thought, two months after 9/11. Not even a thank you for my services. They were "trimming the fat," you see. What a way to refer to someone's livelihood.
My blog is at:

Would love to join your blogroll. Let me know when you have it up and running!
