The photograph above displays a man holding a sign with his professional accomplishments, but is looking for a way to earn food because he is unemployed. As you can see, he is standing in a certain spot of a city where people are most likely to see his message. This pictures represent how the economy is not providing individuals, especially successful individuals, jobs who are struggling to not only feed themselves but their families as well. The man in the photo looks tired and hopeless from standing all day, trying to look for some kind of labor. He mentions that he is has a PhD and other accomplishments which might give workers a second look at how bad the economy is. A possible replacement for this photo can be the power of the economy. No matter what the academic status of person holds, jobs are harder to get for anyone. By looking at this photo, it is visually telling us that power is in the hold of the government and the economy is plummeting.
