I don't know if problems in general will disappear, but the women in the article will have to make some hard decisions in the very near future. You see, I don't believe the price of their monthly fuel costs are going down next year. They are paying $300.00 dollars a month but it will be $400.00 and eventually $500.00 dollars consuming all their descretionary income.
In the future, low paying jobs in the burbs may become high paying fields that covers the fuel costs. It's also possible these jobs may disappear entirely.
