Employment

As we all know, global stock markets for the last few months have been collapsing immensely. Investments are falling and stock markets have been declining, losing millions or even billions. Whose fault is this anyway? Now, because of the US Subprime crisis, everyone is affected even us. People fear of a global recession, or worse, seeing the 1930s depression repeating again. Although the Philippine government is conveying the message and assuring Filipinos that we are and will not be affected by the economic crisis, we can never be sure what might happen tomorrow. Plus, it is already really hard to earn money especially these days. Our parents are not the only ones who are supposed to be worrying about things or issues like this. We, too, must be concerned about what's going on. What can the future hold us now? Where will life take us after college? Will we be employed or become one of the successful businessmen and women? Or will we be an additional percentage of the unemployed in the labor force? I certainly would not want to be a part of the minimum wage earners moreover, be a part of the unemployed or even underemployed.

It is better to be a minimum wage worker than no wage worker haha
being at the bottom is part of life we just need to work harder to be promoted.

I think the reason that the philippines is also affected by the crisis is because we are so dependent the the US
