welcome to globalization
where the workers around the world compete for fewer and fewer jobs (increased productivity)
think of this the next time the politicians or corporations tell you that free trade will help everyone

This is so sad to read and hear this,
but I also want to ask: what is wrong with the people, that they rather tend to blame the economy, the state, anyone else?
I am so sorry, but the time of the social and just state economy is not only over - it never came. Everyone should take care of his/her family himself.
There is a number of possibilties, but they are a subject for another question:
How can I get financial security?

I don't think there is any place in the world where you can have one or two jobs and maintain a comparable living standard as here. I would advice these people to obtain a better paying job by training or higher education.

You need 3 jobs because you're paying taxes to keep people who won't work/can't work...not to mention the worlds population. Could be living beyond your means too

well. thats the reality of the economy kicking in.
After decades of economic progression, the currency has gone so low as compared to the prices of things, = you need to earn money $$ to buy the same things. Not withstanding also that the number of thigns that we want has gone up so much as compred to the simpler life of the past.
btw. economic progression does not equate social progression.
