Job Loss

Commentator Bruce Farr's father lost his job in 1976 at the age of 52. After months of job searching, he took a job as a janitor. For 26 years, Bruce was haunted by his father's misfortune. A few weeks ago, at the age of 52, Bruce lost his job, and he is trying not to settle like his father did.
