Please list and describe, in detail, five “problems of work.”
When you are getting paid 7.40 an hour, people that work for 7.40 and hours get upset with their manager because they are working so hard and thats all they get for been there.

Now, the emerging economies impact on the global economy and the advanced economies is rising rapidly.
