1. This article is about the "underemployed" people of america. the underepmloyed are people who have jobs but are slowly losing hours and are dodging layoffs.
2.I chose this article because im interesed in things that have to do with jobs because i am currently trying to get one myself and i want to know what the ecomomy is doing.
3.this article is not an agree or disagree thing but on account of losing a job i dont like it at all. but i do like it that this women is making it on the litle that she has. This women is losing $200 a week and cant do anything she cant eat out,cant afford to travel oer any of the other ammenities of life.
4. This info has been presented as equal i guess. this is basically a interview of someones life and how they live. you can hardly tell if its fair or not.
5. I would use the record online anyday.

Janay, This was an excellent choice and is a good example of the kinds of problems that economic statistics don't always cover. I wish you had summarized the whole article, though -- there were a number of people profiled, not just one person. And while I agree you can't always tell if a profile is fair, you can judge by the facts they choose. For example, this woman's profile is fairly sympathetic, but what if they had left out the fact that she's a recovering drug addict or had thousands of dollars in credit card debt? (I was making those up.)

Yes I understand. I chose this article and focused on that perticular person because it struck my interest. Next time my summary will be better.
