In this economy, you have to settle...  Even working at a gas station is preferable to not having a job at all and losing everything, right?

Well to a certain extent but even if you are a skilled person with professional experience ( unlike the OP it seems)
Many companies are trying to Take Advantage of the economic situation and offer Slave wages.
That is oppression IMHO.

it gets to a point where a person is better off on public assistance,welfare etc, than working at so low a wage that they can barely afford pay rent, buy soap& toilet paper & food much less have health coverage etc.

Especially if one has already "lost everything" like their Fancy Overpriced house,cars and 60 inch
flat screen TV that they got on Credit anyway and never really owned.

Good point, there.
