This is definitely disheartening. I'm blessed to be even halfway employed (my job is high-paying, but it's only on weekends or when I need to fill in which is often). I know that's more than some people have so, even though it's all kinds of unstable, I try not to grumble.

There are a number of older people at my job who came out of retirement b/c they couldn't afford it. The techs make about $14/hr and have to restrain violent patients almost daily. I can't imagine 60-70yo men and women signing up for this if things weren't dire.
