commentary on "Obama on unemployment and energy" by Erich

Like you, I too worry about the plummeting unemployment rates and the extremely competitive job market that has developed. It scares the hell out of just about everyone. Established workers share in the worry and might ask themselves, “when will my job be removed because of financial implications?” Recently I learned about a new category of worker, the underemployed, that are also affected by the unemployment crisis. These are the workers who have been laid off and are rehired into positions which they are over qualified. For example, a 4 year Cornell College graduate who majored in Business might have to settle as a mail room associate, just for pay. However, no matter how much media attention the unemployment rates have received, it is very important that you brought it up. It reminds your audience, college students, to be aware of the jobs we have, or heads up for the ones who are looking. Yet, you also reminded us that their is a light at the end of the tunnel and Obama is carrying the torch. As you have noted, he is formulating a plan to recover 2 million jobs. What I would like to know is how? What kind of labor? In what area of employment? Hopefully, it involves harnessing energy and creating trash fuels. Another good addition is noting Obama's has plans to help in other areas too, like replacing insufficient light bulbs with the new energy saving ones, and his plan for educating youth about the internet. It leaves your audience on a good note.
