This is about our parents, grandparents, etc. having to choose between paying for medications or eating and the like.

    I have seen in fast food restaurants, retail stores, grocery stores, etc. elderly people working. These lovely people are being forced back into the work force because the economy is so bad. I think that we will see more of this in the coming year before things get any better, if they do. Some of them have to move in with their children or grand children and that isn't right at all. Also, employment is harder to get into because companies are either cutting hours or are laying people off. It is hard times for everyone these days.

    All we can do for these people at this time is show them respect and do what we can to help. When you go into these places, don't treat them like they are stupid or ignorant. In these hard economic times, the elderly, and people in general have no choice but to work at these places. Some may have doctorates or bachelor's degrees but because of layoffs or cutbacks, this may be their only or second job.

    Have more consideration and love for people because you have no idea about the circumstances they are experiencing at this time. I feel fortunate to have a job with everyone around me losing theirs. So be nice and think before you go somewhere and are rude to someone. They may be in a financial crisis and have no choice but to work there.

    這篇文章是關(guān)于我們的祖父母和父母?jìng)冊(cè)谒幬镏委熍c食物等間做出的選擇。

    我已經(jīng)在在快餐店，零售店，雜貨店等地方，看見老年人工作的身影。由于經(jīng)濟(jì)不景氣，這些可愛的老人們被迫回到工作崗位。我想，在接下來(lái)的一年里，除非經(jīng)濟(jì)好轉(zhuǎn)，我們只能看到更多的老年勞動(dòng)力出現(xiàn)在市場(chǎng)上。他們中的一些人，必須和兒輩們或者孫輩們?nèi)ジ?jìng)爭(zhēng)一個(gè)崗位，這種現(xiàn)象太離譜了。另外，各個(gè)公司不是縮減工時(shí)，便是裁員，以至就業(yè)越來(lái)越難。現(xiàn)在的每個(gè)人，都感覺世道艱難。

    現(xiàn)在，我們能為這些老年人所做的事情，是尊重他們，并且盡所能的幫助他們。當(dāng)你遇見工作場(chǎng)所的老年人，不要當(dāng)他們是愚蠢或無(wú)知的老人。當(dāng)今經(jīng)濟(jì)窘迫，人們別無(wú)選擇只能在這種地方工作。有些博士或者學(xué)士因?yàn)椴脝T而下崗，如今的工作可能是唯一的選擇。

    也請(qǐng)多為別人著想，對(duì)別人充滿關(guān)愛。因?yàn)槟悴恢�道他們此時(shí)的遭遇。我周圍的人都失去了工作，而我幸運(yùn)的還擁有一份工作。所以，你去任何地方，對(duì)任何人動(dòng)粗的時(shí)候，都請(qǐng)友好地再三思量。他們也許只是因?yàn)榻?jīng)濟(jì)危機(jī)而不得不在那里工作。
