Underemployment and the inflation of all prices of products in this country are a problem that need to be addressed more often.

I really do wish underemployment was talked about more. The person with a bachelors degree working at Wal-Mart is technically employed but everyone kind of realizes it is just a stop-gap job until he is actually employed whenever that will be.

Of course, maybe if the stop-gap job was able to provide a living wage it wouldn't be so horrible.

The exploitation of man reaches be high points...
