Like many Americans who move to the suburbs, Tara Simons came to West Hartford, Conn., because she wanted her daughter to grow up in a nice, safe place with good schools.

Yes, yes, and the gang of 8 want to fix this by amnesty to 30 million illegals, Tara, no one gives damn if you sre unemployed.

Simons' situation is complicated by the fact she's a single mom. Poverty and financial insecurity among single moms is far higher than for households headed by single dads or two parents.

Gosh. Two parent families are better suited to raise children? WHAT A REVELATION!!!

They voted for their own misery, hard to feel sorry for them.

This woman made the decision to move to Hartford, made the decision to remain with her employer, and then made the decision to quit her job. She is living with the choices she made. Why is THIS news?

Simons expected to work for the rug retailer until retirement, but about a year ago she quit after disputes with one of the two owners. She had never had trouble finding a new job and was unprepared for how hard it would be.

"I know that part of it is my fault and I absolutely take responsibility for that, but I never in a million years thought that I would (be in this position)," she said.

Simons went without work or unemployment benefits for five months before she got her current job about six months ago. The position, as a customer service representative for a local health products company, pays $14 an hour. That leaves her with take-home pay of about $460 to $480 a week, plus about $127 a week in child support. Simons has full custody of her daughter.

Yeah, that's really buried in the story. I had to read most of the darned thing before coming to that.

I might have a bit of sympathy for her in normal times, but, really - she didn't know it isn't normal times and that jobs are hard to come by?

You'd be surprised how many still are in denial of the profound change our economy has undergone since Bush I. They realize government stats are not quite accurate regarding unemployment, inflation, gdp but still are in a measure of denial and/or intimidation because of the constant 'happy days are here again' by the MSM.
