Sarah Stewart Holland Quote

When President Roosevelt talked about the necessity of work, he meant that the government would create jobs that paid well enough to give people new leases on life. When we talk about job requirements today, we mean, go find something that exists in the private sector and that you’re qualified to do today, even if it doesn’t pay wages that enable you to deal with transportation, childcare, and all the other aspects of your life that must be well managed in order for you to do and keep your job.
