I Stand Here Ironing

In the story, I Stand Here Ironing by Olsen, the events that are described could very well occur today. I do believe that they do exist today. There's nothing different in our world today when it comes to poverty, single-parent care, children homes, etc. I think that our economic status is different now than it was back in the '30s. We aren't living in the Great Depression and people do have jobs. I believe that many people who do not have jobs today are because they are either retired, too young, disabled, or too lazy. I believe that all other changes are still closely the same as they were over 70 years ago.
