Heard on NPR today that unemployment offices in Japan are called "Hello Work" offices, sort of like Hello Kitty? As NPR reports, the name is meant to take the stigma out of being unemployed, because being unemployed is much more shameful in Japan than we necessarily think of it being here in the States.
I'm worried about how broken the world seems right now and I hope an economic turn around comes sooner rather than later.
