I dont have time with my new baby because I have to work so much. I would work fivedays (instead of seven) if they paid more and gave more hours.

It is not enough because it doesnt cover for clothes for my child, or food and many otherthings.

If I want to buy other things, I dont have enough - not even for gas. Sometimes its only$500 in two weeks, not enough for one person and I have children.

Having two jobs makes me overwork my body. Especially working at night - your bodyneeds to rest more, but I cant because I have to work two jobs.

We need higher pay. We are working the night shift and it is hard on the body.

I dont sleep because someone has to work. There is a lot of stress because when youdont sleep well you get angry and when my kid is sick I have to find someone to watchhim.

I would like to have days off every week, because

one week I work 7 andthe other I have theweekend off. When I work7 days that makes mevery tired and its hard todo my best. I get verylittle sleep and thatsunhealthy.

One job is not enough with the low wages,

and because of theschedule at night it isa little tough to havea second job. Getting sick costs a lot."

$8 is not enough. I work two jobs. Im very stressed. I cant focus on any one thing.

I barely see my son. I barely sleep, like 5-6 hours a day, and there is a lot of stress.

It is always tough to pay bills and it causes a lot of stress at home. For example, theperson who takes care of our children is not the same quality as a day care center.

I cant sleep well, and my body gets tired. Im worried that Im destroying my body.

Its not enough to maintain my family. Isleep around 4 hoursa day and I cant havean appointment with

my doctor because Idont have insurance. Jose Cabrera

I cant buy things for my daughter to makesure she is doing well and is healthy. There is no insurance,

and at this wage itsnot enough to get insurance.

Sandra Miranda

I have another job, and it tires me out. During the week I only sleep 5 hours per day. Sometimes I cant pay hospital bills for my children.

Its not enough to cover health insurance. Because of that I did not go to the doctor until mysickness got really bad. Now my eye is bad and because of that I only work 3-4 days per

week. I have to go to the doctor regularly, and now I have to survive with less days. It lowers my esteem. I have two jobs only sometimes. I dont have enough to go to thedoctor. I have debt from m electricit and as bills because of m low wa es.
