The tolls of the Great Recession

Over heard Phone Call number one:

“So I say you need to bring in that resume.  If you can handle [name not caught], you will most certainly be able to handle [other name not caught].”

Next phone call.  “Yeah, I just got around to [someone or other, name not caught].  HAD to call her.
[bunch o stuff or other.]
Yes, I say the ideal person to hire would be a hooker who is about five months behind on her rent, because what we need is someone to bust their ass for long shifts upon long shift.  Everyone’s a little hazy right now, and I’m pulling in a lot right now.”

There is something about these two phone calls.  It may be a sign of the current “Great Recession” on how terms of Labor are sort of being lost.  That’s the macro-level of this thing.  But what caught me on these, why I found it kind of odd…

… The first call, clearly an acquaintance or minor friend.  Did that second call say that she was a Hooker, or just somehow on the level of one?
