An Unemployed Brother

In this cartoon, two men hold a passing conversation about getting a job and the economy, but in reality, the satire shows how bad the economy truly is.  It pokes fun at the hopelessness of the job market and the high rate of unemployment.  It also shows the duration of the recession as the man has resorted to working simply for food and has a very long beard.  He has obviously been jobless for quite some time.  This cartoon ultimately pokes fun at wall street too, as the "low" and "high" of society are both shown in the cartoon, and the simple fact that nobody from wall street is doing anything to help the man.
