Gazes of Unemployment

The unemployed or those unhappy with their current job status queued up to almost 200 job seekers in either direction as they waited to enter a 3-hour job fair. A Renaissance hotel in Iselin, New Jersey, could be the launching point to a new career for one of those waiting to enter the banquet hall. Scattered throughout the corridor was a miscellany of employers from New Jersey Transit and Prudential to financial institutions and technological and vocationally schools. Schools like the Stenotech Career Institute that boasts a 0% unemployment rate in the field of stenography - but before the students make the potential 6-figure salary they have to spend cash they don't have on a 3-year education. The recruitment associate from the school wasn't hesitate to say that she will likely not have a new student come out of this job fair, or fairs like it. The would-be students need income now.

For some it is hard to look when the United States has 8.1% unemployment rate, down from 8.3% the month before in part due to people retiring from a career of looking for their lost jobs back. But at these jobs fairs, looks, stares, and gazes defines the faces of seekers. Eyes are glued to job listings, looking ahead in the lines and stares that size up other job seekers.

At the same time is is irksome to stare back to document the pain of discontent and the waning patience of the displeased workforce.

Blind Chinese Dissident Chen Guangcheng Arrives in New York City

Under the circumstances that surround blind Chinese dissident Chen Guangcheng and the availability of this "media opportunity" the moment was shrouded in its rarity for the media and absolute joy for the dissident and his family as he stepped with one bad foot into the United States.

After tracking Chen Guangcheng's movements for the last month, the visual media had finally gained an opportunity to document the man that captivated much of the media's attention since his escape from home confinement. Now instead of editors having to work with the few handout images from the United States Embassy in Beijing and glimpses of him being wheeled through a hospital, the media had finally gained almost open access to record his arrival on the campus of New York University in Manhattan on Saturday. Now he begins his new life in Greenwich Village.

China allowed the activist to leave a hospital in Beijing and board a plane for the US, a move that could signal the end of a diplomatic standoff between the two countries.
