Economic Migrant

Famous quotes containing the words economic and/or migrant:

    If in the earlier part of the century, middle-class children suffered from overattentive mothers, from being “mother’s only accomplishment,” today’s children may suffer from an underestimation of their needs. Our idea of what a child needs in each case reflects what parents need. The child’s needs are thus a cultural football in an economic and marital game.
    Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

    As soon as the harvest is in, you’re a migrant worker. Afterwards just a bum.
    Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)
