'We talk a lot about human rights, but I don't know of any human right that is more important than having a job'
William Norris said that in an April 1978 TIME magazine interview and that is still as true today as when he spoke these words back during the disco era.  Having a job is fundamental to survival in society and especially in the United States because everything flows from it.  The money you earn from that job helps pay for food, shelter, clothing, and the other necessities of life.
