We’ve been asking you to reach out and tell us how your job has changed since the great recession. Some of you have told us about unemployment spells while others have told us they couldn’t be more happy in their current employment. A number of you spoke of another issue: pay cuts. We speak with Mike, a firefighter from Miami, Florida, and Keirsten Huth, a small business owner from Charlotte, North Carolina. Both Raul and Keirsten have suffered pay cuts in the last few years.
