DAY FOUR: JOBS

After a short delay, the continuation of our Eight Days of Gratitude...
Part four of our Eight Days of Gratitude: Jobs

USA:
Even though we are going through some very tough times with unemployment over 10%, still there are many social programs (government and private) helping most people. We can be thankful for all of that support.

ST. THERESA HOSPITAL:
Hospital employees are very thankful for their jobs, even though the pay is so very poor. Currently, the lowest paid employee is making on about US $30 per month, and the highest paid nurse is making about US $150 per month.

SURROUNDING AREA:
Unemployment in Zimbabwe is “around” 95%. The country has great potential, and I guess that is what the people would be thankful for, although they would like to see some real progress with the “Government of National Unity.” (Very little “unity.”)
