“ less work as a whole, works is tough for a black man.  Most people pull up and pick up a hispanic. It makes it hard for a black man, racism……”

NEED WORK series

Home depot parking lots fill with men needing work.  The economy and the near stand still in the construction business create vast numbers of needy day laborers.

what is the state of affairs from the street level ? this series finds out from the men themselves.

this has been a self made report

    Good on ya, bro. {{{Johnny}}} I know it’s brutal for so many people and families, right now. The numbers are deceiving when it comes to ‘economic recovery,’ because, currently, many businesses are increasing their profits by *reducing* the size of their labor force. There are millions of people that want nothing more than to work and be able to provide for themselves and their families, plus have a safe, stable, affordable place to live. Have you seen the video by Ryan Star (old alumni from Lukas’ show RSSN): http://breathe4jobs.com/ I thought that was a smart way to put music to “work” for people and bring the issue down to ’street level’ the same way you’re doing.
