Did you read the comments posted by readers below the article? Please do. Even way back in the 1980's when I lived in Branson, it was common to work two summer jobs, because there was no work from November through mid-March. Now that the season is expanded, it's better for workers, but to be cut back in hours is not good. Working for low wages is not good. I have personal experience with that. The regular guy is struggling in America right now, worse than I've seen in a long while. Middle class is shrinking, extremes are more common, with people...most of them...falling to the lower middle class or the lower class in regards to income. The rich keep getting richer. The comments by the first guy are a bit rough to read, but I think he is "on the money" about his points.
