Robert
Laid off from his job in the telecommunications industry in New York City, Robert has spent a year searching for jobs and filling out applications while living at his brother’s house and collecting public assistance. He has yet to find a job, and he has depleted most of his savings over the past year. He worries that it will be difficult to build his retirement savings back up.
