Despite unemployment and the loss of her home, Andrea Clark considers herself a blessed and happy woman. Why the cheerful attitude? Her troubles have brought her closer to her family. Last year, Andrea’s husband. Rick, a miner in Nevada was laid off. Though Andrea kept her job as a school bus driver, she knew they couldn’t pay their bills and support their youngest of five children, Zac, age nine, on one income. At first their church helped out. "But you can’t keep that up forever", Andrea says. Then Michael, the eldest of her four adult children, suggested they move in with his family. For almost three months, seven Clarks lived under one roof. Andrea, Rick and Zac stayed in the basement apartment, sharing laundry and a single bathroom with Michael, his wife and their two children.
The change cut their expenditures in half, but the new living arrangement proved too challenging. When Andrea found a job with a school district closer to her mother’s home in west Jordan, Utah, the family decided to move on. Packing up again was no picnic. Zac had to switch schools for the second time and space is even tighter. Andrea says that the moves themselves are exhausting and Rick is still looking for a job.
The recession has certainly come with more problems than Andrea anticipated, but she remains unfailingly optimistic. She is excited to spend more time with her mother. Another plus, rents are lower in Utah than in Nevada. So Andrea thinks they’ll be able to save up and move out in less than 6 months.
33. What do we learn about Andrea’s husband?
34. Why did Andrea move to live in her eldest son’s home?
35. What is Andrea’s attitude toward the hardships brought by the economic recession?
