Government budget cutting and an intensifying cost-con- sciousness on the part of both business and industry have put people out of work and brought on a fierce competition for any and every job that becomes available. Workers of all ages are caught in the squeeze, so everyone has a small share of the discomfort. But, as always, bad times hurts most of all those who are most financially vulnerable--meaning, of course, the retired and the elderly. When times are good, neither business nor industry hesitate to new employees. If the pro­ fits are there, the independent store owner will pay for part- time help in order to have a lit­ tle time off. Let things toughen up and he goes back to a full- time schedule and the part-time worker goes home. Many re­ tirees who have relied on part- time employment are now find­ ing that the jobs just aren't there, for the most part, and that there is competition from younger workers for the few that may be available. There is no doubt, most econ­ omists say, that the economy is improving and will continue to improve, to a degree. But, it will be a long time before we return to a situation where jobs are looking for people, to a time when those who want to work only part of the time can pick and choose to come up with the kind of a job they want and do it on the days it suits them to work. All of this indicates a press­ ing need for shoring up of the Social Security System. What­ ever needs to be done should be done to provide some kind of a viable program that will provide security to those Ameri­ cans who have earned it and at the same time present to those active workers (who are con­ tributing more than ever be­ fore) much-needed evidence that they are investing in their own future.
