Employment provides community growth and self-worth | PoconoRecord.com: Occasionally you hear someone scoff at the unemployed.

It is sometimes implied that folks enjoy unemployment checks too much, as if they are mostly sleeping in and playing the Wii like a kid on a snow day.

It is lonely, chips away at self-worth and can be life changing if it leads to career change, lower wages, hunger, utility shut-off, car repossession and home foreclosure.
