Reposted with permission from American Public Media's The Story: Many Americans have a recession story and Deborah Troutman's gets personal. Working in a company with her husband, she was asked to lay him off. She did, and then she did it again. She talks with Dick about scaling down their lifestyle, as they cope with partial employment. Thanks to DW Gibson and his book, Not Working. Some unemployed people we've met are doing "internships," to get a foot in the door. Eric Glatt secured a glamorous Hollywood internship. Soon after he started his unpaid work, he began to question the legality of working for free and ended up suing the company. And then on to China, where we meet Paul Fichter who designs and makes beer taps. He has a factory in China and two in the U.S., and has created a hybrid staff utilizing the benefits of operating in both countries. Music in this episode: "Black Crow Keeps on Flying", "Loud as Ears" and "Where do I go Now" by Kelly Joe Phelps. Also, Andrew Parsons riffs with his guitar, based on the song "Angel Gabriel" by Chloe Davidson. Check out the latest from "The Story" at thestory.org.
