For Some Who Are Back At Work, Positive Jobs Report Doesn’t Tell The Full Story

WASHINGTON — Every weeknight Bridget Krueger and her husband catch up with an 8 p.m. phone call because his new job is far away and he works long hours, so he has to spend the night in a hotel.

“It’s almost like being a single parent during the week,” Krueger, 46, said in an interview. But it’s better now than it was before, when her husband, Brian, was out of work. “Sometimes you have to do what you have to do.”

“We got one of the boilers started and we’re working on the second one, it should be going in a couple of months,” Krueger said. “We’re almost done with the project.”

Krueger said he’s not confident he’ll have an easy time finding another job, but he said he was looking forward to heading home early on Friday so he could see his son’s basketball game.
