Pieces of the Pie - Dividing up work evenly in the USA

The following entry is a response to a articles located in GiG by John Bowe, Marisa Bowe, and Sabin Streeter.



The work in the United States is divided up very unevenly, and many people who are doing the toughest jobs are under appreciated and treated very poorly on a daily basis.  While many people are under appreciated others are over appreciated and do not work nearly as hard as those that are under appreciated.  If we as a country could learn to appreciate everyone for what they do we would be much better off.  We need to give the people who are doing the nation's tough jobs more credit as well as more money.

As the poultry worker makes it very clear he feels very underappreciated and knows there are people out there making millions of dollars off of his hard work.  I think that if the United States divided up the work more evenly and let some of the people making more money work a little harder we would be better off. 



For example, on CBS's show Undercover Boss the CEO's of companies get to see how hard entry level jobs in their companies are.  The people who are making all the money for the company do not realize how important the little people in their company are.  This is an example of how the work is unevenly divided in the U.S. because those that are making the money don't even realize what is going on beneath them.
