 JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Juan Herrera's house on the Gulf coast is destroyed. He has no money, little clothing and is living with his family in a high school gymnasium. But what he needed most in Katrina's aftermath, he said, was a job.
"I have to make money. I have nothing," he said.
Thousands of evacuees from ravaged coastal areas began scraping for work this week in the cities and towns where they found themselves stranded after the storm. Many launched their search with no transportation and skills of limited immediate value, but a desperate need to put enough dollars in their pockets to get moving again.
