Millions of new jobs?

A friend shared this story with me yesterday:

He was driving through a drive-thru at a McSomething place and engaging in conversation with a cheerful young woman, and somehow the conversation got around to her general overall perkiness. Then she dropped Da Bomb:

"Hey, I've got three jobs. I have to keep my pep up somehow."

There it is. The New Economy in one phrase. One car breakdown or week sick away from homelessness.

Want fries with that?
