Drug Abuse and Employment - Is There a Remedy?
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the number of unemployed persons increased to 8.8 million in April, raising the national unemployment rate to 6% and drug abuse and addiction is a major factor. In addition to this, 4.8 million persons working part-time positions preferred a full-time schedule, which was an increase of more than half a million over the previous year.
Though the American economy is at a low point, there is at least one "business" that continues to make money off the citizens of this great country; that is the legal and illicit drug trade.
