The fugitive fleet, the E7 area of the 715 space island, Evans stood at the intersection of several streets, hesitated for a long time, and finally took a step forward and chose one of the streets.

That's the way home. Evans' home is located in a living area in E7. But now Evans doesn't want to go home. Because Evans didn't find a suitable job to do today, Evans had to go home empty-handed today.

Although the fugitive government will provide free survival support materials for the unemployed, it is only the most basic, and even the food is barely enough, not to mention the quality and taste of the food. Evans has three children at home, the youngest of whom is just one and a half years old, and it is the time when he needs a lot of nutrition. So Evans had to work hard every day, hoping to find some work to do and earn some money to support his family.

"It's getting harder and harder to find a job right now...... Evans sighed deeply, feeling like his legs were filled with lead. Thinking of his three children who were waiting to be fed, and of his wife, who was getting thinner and thinner, Evans felt more and more uncomfortable.

Interstellar escape is not the same as when you are in a fixed home. In the solar system, or in the rest of the galaxies of human civilization, the government will always provide a large number of jobs, because the expansion of human civilization requires a huge amount of manpower. Whether it's a service industry, an interstellar miner, or a spaceship factory worker, there are many jobs to choose from, as long as you are diligent, no matter what kind of job you choose, it is very easy to feed a family, plus the basic benefits provided by the government, you even have money to buy some things for pleasure, and occasionally you can take the family to the central mall to enjoy the fun of shopping, or go to a beautiful place to play for a few days.

"It was a great time...... Evans sighed deeply as he recalled the past.

But since he began to flee, all this life has been far away from Evans. It's been a year since I've been on the run, and the excitement and novelty of the beginning have long since disappeared, and all that's left is the growing pressure of life.

The current government simply can't provide enough jobs - for the simple reason that there is simply not so much to do in the fugitive fleet. It's not the same as it used to be. In the past, it took tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of workers to open up a planet, and hundreds of thousands of workers were needed for any small spaceship factory.

But what is there to do now? What is the day-to-day maintenance of a space island? -- That's just a few hundred thousand people. Services? Now that the business is in a recession, where are so many shops recruiting people? What does logistics work between different space islands? That's only a tiny fraction of the staff. There are simply not enough jobs available, and the limited number of jobs is fiercely competitive, and ordinary people like Evans, who have no outstanding professional skills, simply cannot compete with those with advanced education.

Now even dock porters need a master's degree or higher - it takes thirty-seven years to get a full master's education, and after thirty-seven years of education, those masters can only go to the docks to work as coolies and the salary is very meagre - but no one complains. Because there are so many masters and doctors in society that they can't find any jobs, Evans alone knows that there are more than a dozen people living in his neighborhood.

Even if they can't find a job, what better can they find a job?

Now Evans can only rely on doing some odd jobs on the streets to make a little money, anyway, he has some strength, and his body is strong, as long as someone is looking for him, no matter what kind of work, whether it is carrying things or cleaning, digging the ground or going into the water, he is willing to do it. But now even these jobs are hard to find, with more and more competitors and less pay, and even if you are tired and tired all day, you can only buy a few loaves of bread - that was when things were better now, when Evans usually waited on the streets for a day and then went home empty-handed.

"By the way, I heard that the Flyover Repair Shop will be removing most of the robots in a few days and replacing them with workers, so I might be able to try my luck and maybe find something to do. Evans thought to himself as he walked.

Now that labor is too cheap, so cheap that it can compete with robots for jobs, the government has also introduced a lot of subsidy policies to encourage enterprises and factories to recruit workers to replace robots and try their best to create jobs. But this is a drop in the bucket compared to the huge population base.

The government has enormous wealth in its hands, enough to live comfortably for hundreds of years for everyone in the fugitive fleet, but in the long run, it cannot distribute this wealth to everyone for free. In addition to providing the most basic benefits to ensure people's lives, the government needs to distribute this wealth in the form of a salary. In other words, if a person wants to seek better living conditions beyond basic subsistence, then you must rely on your own ability to earn a salary, and then use the salary to exchange goods with the government. If you don't have the ability and can't find a job to earn a salary, then you'll have to rely on basic benefits to make ends meet.

Beyond that, the government can only do its best to provide jobs and ensure that the competition system is healthy and transparent.

It's brutal, but it's necessary. The government must carry out macroeconomic material regulation and control through this means, and ensure the basic stability of society in this way.

Evans only received fifteen years of primary and secondary education, this level of education is basically equivalent to illiteracy in the current human civilization, so Evans does not understand the overall situation, involving the whole civilization, Evans only knows one thing, that is, his life is getting worse and worse, he is getting weaker and weaker, his wife is getting thinner and thinner, and the development of children who should have grown up healthy is far later than the normal development process......

Reality dictates that Evans has to find a way, but it's also reality that tells Evans that you can't do anything.

"What the hell should I do, what should I do......" Evans was agitated. Just then, Evans saw a sign posted on the right side of the street, outside a dilapidated façade, with a few words written crookedly: "Recruitment, no limit on academic qualifications." One dollar per day. ”

Evans' eyes lit up. In this day and age, there are fewer and fewer jobs that do not require academic qualifications, and the daily wage is one yuan, although it is less, but it is better than waiting on the streets. If you can do it steadily, you can save up for seven or eight days, and you can buy some meat to improve the life of your children......

Maybe it's because the notice has just been posted, but no one has gathered there at the moment. Without hesitation, Evans immediately stepped forward and asked a big man in the dilapidated storefront who was bare-headed and tattooed, and his body was at least half as thick as himself, "Hello, are you looking for a job here?" What do you do, do you think I can do it? ”

The big man didn't raise his head, and said in a rough voice: "Go over there and fill out a form." ”

Evans filled out the form nervously and handed it to the big man. Dahan glanced at it, looked Evans up and down again, and then said, "Secondary education? Formerly a construction worker? Well, we need people like you. Go back and get ready, and come here in five days. ”

Evans's heart was filled with a burst of ecstasy. He asked with some trembling, "I...... Am I being approved? We...... What do I do? ”

Dahan said impatiently: "Nonsense, what did you do if you didn't pass the audit?" As for what work to do, you'll find out later. ”

Evans left this place full of trepidation, and for some reason, when facing the big man, Evans always had some fear in his heart, as if he was facing some dangerous creature. But the predictable future made Evans a little irrepressible excited. Thinking about the future job that pays one yuan a day, thinking about the things I can buy for my children and my wife...... Evans was a little excited.

When he returned home, he told his wife about these things, and her thin eyes were full of joy.

At the same time, in the A1 district government building, the Fugitive Fleet No. 1 space island, the head of state is presiding over a meeting.

At the end of the meeting, when all the issues that needed to be discussed had been discussed, the Führer made his concluding remarks: "Then it was decided.

In five days, we will reach the edge of EZ Alpha Aquarius, where the space islands will begin to disperse, occupying different spaces around Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, and the gathering fleet will start collecting supplies from the space islands. We'll stay here for a month, and after a month we'll leave for the next location.

The list of required collection materials has been issued, and all departments need to carry out collection activities in strict accordance with the requirements of the list, and must complete the scheduled collection tasks within the specified time. This is related to our overall interstellar escape plan, so we must be cautious.

Okay, ...... adjournment" (To be continued.) )
