Video: from WIBV New York: Some 46,000 New Yorkers will lose extended unemployment benefits this week. America's jobless recovery is pushing people into desperation. Yea, no kidding!!!
That oughta do wonders for the crime rate...good luck NY!
NY = High Taxes = You reap what you sow. Capitalism ALWAYS CRUSHES Socialism.
Lets play a game...and guess how many of these folks that will soon be without check.....voted for Obammy....Im going to say 89%
**46,000 New Yorkers will lose extended unemployment benefits this week.**
So, How’s that Hopey Changey thing working for you?
New York should raise taxes on the unemployed.
That’ll fix the problem. :)
Well at least they’ll have health care.
Congress left town without renewing the extended benefits.
These folks will be out of work for no more than a week or two.
In 2014 - maybe. ;-)
This is what I don’t understand or I think I do understand but it frustrates me with the media.
As a person that collected unemployment last year and having it run out, I was one of the ones that “fell off” the unemployment rolls.
As people like me fall off the rolls(still unemployed) the total number of possible people that can claim unemployment benefits falls. This means that the percentage of people going on the rolls(all things being the same) will slowly get smaller, giving the effect of new unemployment claims numbers falling.
The total number of people that could(are legally authorized to) claim is smaller but the total population is the same.
Does that make sense? Anyway I have decided at this point to not get a job and build websites for people and go to college. 38 year old freshman, go figure.
(New York) State put freeze on hiring, then added 51,464 people
But state officials hired 51,464 people at a cost to taxpayers of more than $1 billion in salaries, plus fringe benefits, since that decree on July 30, 2008.
It also doesn’t count us part-time employees who lost their jobs and didn’t get unemployment. And still no job.
There is another issue too. After 1 year, States are required to move people back to state benefits from federal benefits if they are eligible. So if you work any temporary jobs or part time jobs, you may be eligible for state benefits again. But they re-figure the benefit amount based on the last 12 months.
So suddenly you're only eligible for the benefits earned from that part time or temporary job. Not from the job that you initially filed unemployment for. People are seeing a huge drop in the unemployment benefits as they get moved back to the recalculated state benefits.
Is any work better than no work? Not for unemployment benefits.

Wonderful news. I'm glad to hear it. Being unemployed is really rough on people.
And the people of NY will still blame Bush. What’s it been now 15 month?
Hopey, changey, re-arrange-ee
