A man rides in a freight car looking at the ground as the train rolls slowly past. Another man with a large rucksack gets off an open-top car and sneaks away. The sidewalk in front of an employment agency is empty. Men are getting soup from a charity, and a bench is full of tired men. Two other men sleep on a bench, and a hand hangs a sign that reads, “No Help Wanted.”
