His Bertness is now a statistic. Alas. April 28, 2009 18:57 3 Comments
Well. It could be worse. Really. Of this I am sure. But His Bertness has now joined the 13 million Americans officially counted as unemployed. Yup. He's been laid off, his job outsourced. Sigh. Whatever happened to loyalty to those who work hard?
For a good look at the erosion of the American Dream, do read America: What Went Wrong by Donald L. Barlett and James B. Steele.
And don't miss Bob Herbert's column, Workers Walk the Plank, in today's New York Times. Excellent.

That really stinks. I’m sorry to hear that.
My mother was laid off a year before her retirement. Supposedly (fingers crossed) it is a temporary layoff.
Hope Bert can find another position soon.
