What I wanted to do was show that everybody has the capacity to be selfsufficient（自給自足的） , and all we have to do is to activate them. I asked the county to pick a group of people who were on public welfare, people from different racial groups and different family constellations. I would then see them as a group for three hours every Friday. The first thing I said after I shook hands with everybody was, ―I would like to know what your dreams are.‖ Everyone looked at me in surprise 你的首選資源互助社區(qū) ―Dreams? We don’t have dreams.‖ I said, ―Well, when you were a kid what happened? Wasn’t there something you wanted to do?‖ I began to ask other people about their dreams. One woman shared that she always wanted to be a secretary. I said, ―Well, what stands in your way?‖ (That’s always my next question.) She said, ―I have six kids, and I don’t have anyone to take care of them while I’m away.‖ ―Let’s find out,‖ I said. ―Is there anybody in this group who would take care of six kids for a day or two a week while this woman gets some training here at the munity college?‖ One woman said, ―I got kids, too, but I could do that.‖ ―Let’s do it,‖ I said.

This summer, Illinois is facing the loss of 18,000 jobs for teenagers. The loss es as teen unemployment in the state has reached a recordhigh rate of percent. Experts say that the slow recovery and the high unemployment rate have forced older workers to take positions for younger workers. Jim Zeckhauser, the manager of a Chicago social service agency for troubled teens, said he used to be able to place dozens of teens in jobs before the financial crisis. This year, he has been able to place only about seven of the 34 teenagers he guides in summer jobs. ―It’s a struggle to find firms,‖ he said. Brent Weiss, owner of Uncle Dan’s, an outdoorgear retailer with locations in Chicago, Evanston and Highland Park, said he is more selective about the workers that he hires, acknowledging that he is more likely to hire college students than teens, and like many other small business he is doing more with fewer workers.
