Young Man with Old Blue Hat

Route 80, Buckhorn, Pennsylvania

This young hard working laborer is thinking what he must do to get a better job. "The economy sucks" the young man mutters in an honest and angry voice "What does it take to get a job which pays a fair wage?" Lamenting, in the afternoon son, he asks, "Did I go to college and get my degree for nothing and what about healthcare?" This young man, working in Central Pennsylvania near Bloomsburg gets a little more than $6 per hour and absolutely no health insurance. He has tried often to get a better job, but in the current economy, all is efforts seem to fall flat. Photo by Michael Weinberg Photography, Clarks Summit and Scranton, PA

Actually... he voted for Gore. Then Kerry. And he will be voting, without reservation, for Barack Obama in November. For the record: while he hasn't been shy about venting about the dismal state of our national economy and health care for some time now, the quote is a fabrication, based upon the photographer's past experience with him.
He doesn't shave because the facial hair covers some ugly scars from a freak industrial accident... or was it from shrapnel sprayed from an IED while he was stationed over in Anbar Province? Actually, it's because he's slightly insecure about his weak chin. Trust me, the beard looks better than none.
How do I know this? I'm that guy.
