Just a few days ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday I want to express my gratitude to all those who have shared their stories for the Not Working Project so far. I’m sending everyone all best wishes for the holiday and hoping that you are all moving toward full time, rewarding work.

With a new year and fresh political start it is my fervent hope that our municipal, state and federal leaders demonstrates the wisdom, compassion, and inventiveness required to expand the labor market for all Americans who anxiously await the chance to work and contribute like they once did.

Onward.
