Local life

Behind the smile at work

A large share of jobs in this region mean staying cheerful for guests through nights, weekends and holidays. Pay in that work has not kept up with the cost of an apartment, and working hard while falling behind brings a kind of shame that people rarely mention to coworkers. I-4 drains whatever energy is left after a shift. Many families came here to start over, including those who moved from Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, and people who settled inland to be safe from storms have found that storms reach here too.

Why it helps

How peer support helps near Orlando

A peer group is an hour when you do not have to be on for anyone. It is free, which matters when the budget is already tight, and it is a place to say the things about money and exhaustion that stay unsaid at work.
