Topic: Work for free? some are just staying fresh

Unpaid jod seekers can keep their resumes fresh by boosting their experience and learning new skills, experts say, but other warn businesses may take advantage of the jobless and that it is illegal for commercial companies not to pay workers.
Dana Lin, 22, is unemployed workers in U.S. She lost her job. She has been working for free for about five hours a week for Internet company. She said, " Every company has thousands of people applying for each job, and I realized I needed more appeal." In some cases it's nice to occupy yourself with and when speaking to prospective employers.
Ross Eisenbrey said, " It's not just a bad idea, it's illegal. The law says (companies) may not suffer or permit employees to work for less than the minimum wage."

This story is an important one. When the economy is in recession, workers sometimes accept lower salaries and benefits. The idea of working for no salary at all is really strange and unfortunate. How do these people eat? And how do the people who hire them sleep at night?

I think so. It's no idea.
Salary is very important because
this is ability. I think this problem is stealing ability of other people. They keep work, they will have many experience, but they don't enjoy.
