This qualitative study, based on a series of 30 in-depth interviews and 109 economic surveys conducted with active heroin users residing in and around Detroit, Michigan, describes reported patterns of heroin use and income generation activities. In spite of lack of access to regular, legal employment, we found that many participants displayed a dedication to regular daily routine and a sense of risk management or control. These findings are discussed relative to past research on heroin addiction as well as recent research on the changing nature of employment. We argue that this sample fits somewhere in between the controlled or working addict, and the "junkie" or "righteous dope fiend" of urban lore. We draw a connection between these stable patterns of addiction and income generation a...

WHY aren't Americans being told the truth about the economy? The report of 216,000 new jobs in March is being touted as evidence we're finally out of the woods. In reality, we're still in the swamp, and in danger of sinking. Consumers are 70 percent of the American economy, and consumer confidence is plummeting. It's weaker today on average than at the lowest point of the Great Recession. The Reuters/University of Michigan survey shows a 10-point decline in March -- the 10th- largest drop on record. Part of that drop is attributable to rising fuel and food prices.
