The Unemployed

Oregon’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was unchanged at 11.3 percent in October from the revised September figure of 11.3 percent

I'm grateful to be employed.  I feel bad for those unemployed who, like me, have tried to play by the rules and do the 'right' thing to be responsible citizens.  Through no fault of their own they find themselves in a difficult position. 

The reminder I take from our current economic crisis is that the only things I control exclusively are my actions and reactions.  

I send all good wishes to each of us, particularly the unemployed, for good actions and reactions.
