Where’s the disconnect, America?
Edit: For clarification: This was shot at a local, small, business. The owner is a great guy and passionate about his work. He supports and gives back to the community he is part of. He recently had to close his café, not because of a lack of business, but, in fact, the opposite. He drew too much business to run the café by himself, but could not find anyone willing to work at it with him. Local newspaper ads, craigslist, help wanted signs… he made an effort to employ. More effort than I think people are willing to put into finding work, but apparently less effort than they are willing to put in complaining about the lack of it.
I support OWS and the movement. I believe wholeheartedly that there has been great injustice perpetrated upon the American public, but there is such an imbalance here it’s ridiculous.
If people are going to stand on boxes and yell about the evils of corporations and the lack of jobs, yet small businesses like this are going out of business because they cannot find help, what is the solution?
Through the Looking Glass
I was looking for a different perspective on the Occupy Wall St movement. I found it by photographing and talking to the people photographing the Occupy Wall Street movement in Zuccotti Park, New York City.
