Labor Secretary agrees: "It's a fairness issue."
"I'm working 70 hours a week and have no time to work out, yet my unemployed neighbor looks like Mr. Universe. It's not right," grumbled 36-year-old electrical engineer Angus Pasternak.
The concern over the contrast in fitness levels between the employed and unemployed has also reached the highest levels of government. At a press conference yesterday, U.S. Secretary of Labor Tom Perez noted, "It's a fairness issue. The majority of our workforce is out there doing the right thing--working long hours in stressful jobs, not working out and eating junk food. The unemployed have too much time to exercise and that needs to change before we become a nation of abs and ab-nots."
