I just came across this article with video on The Huffington Post regarding the egg industry, where male chicks are instantaneously euthanized daily because they have no production use due to being male, and there’s no profit in them in other industries either.

I have been job searching for three months and here’s a look at the experience in today’s economy and with the current methods of applying for positions.
