There's a term for this situation in workforce development: displaced homemaker. And, there are entire organizations devoted to assisting these women in preparing to enter the workforce. The need grows yearly.

Something else to consider about folks on food stamps....and it was in the article....soem of those affected are those same ones that have the task of feeding us....farmers....

After their fall harvest they have to live on whatever income they make and because we are so busy outsourcing where we get our food and the fact that lots of these sources are gettiogn contaminated....and.....with less and less people taking up farming....it's a wonder for part of the year they have to take govt subsidies...

I geuss we can tell them 'go get a job' to hmm?
