Without jobs and a good salary, people can't afford a roof over their heads, keeping the lights on, and food to eat.

Not having enough money to pay your bills and different expenses is stressful.

With stress, it is hard to maintain happiness.

The Government should create good jobs for people and provide a good economy where things are fairly priced.
