Armed security guards will be on hand at 36 unemployment offices around Indiana in what state officials said is a step to improve safety and make branch security more consistent.
No specific incidents prompted the action, Department of Workforce Development spokesman Marc Lotter told 6News' Norman Cox.
Lotter said the agency is merely being cautious with the approach of an early-December deadline when thousands of Indiana residents could see their unemployment benefits end after exhausting the maximum 99 weeks provided through multiple federal extension periods.

More job creation for Zero’s army?
Correct you are!!!!! The bill for the "hope and change" that the idiots and parasites voted so gleefully for on November 4, 2008 has yet to be presented.
These threads are always emotional because there are people out there who are hard workers who haven’t found work.
Speaking from my personal experience, I just know way too many people who are long-term unemployed who are simply sitting on their back-sides waiting for a job like their old job to magically materialize—without having to move to a new area too, of course. The unemployment is enough for them to get by and they absolutely refuse to look for lowering paying work due to their pride.
I also know people who lost jobs who you’d think would not be employable—like people who lost jobs due to drinking—who nevertheless swallowed their pride and had new jobs (lower paying) within a couple months.
The bottom line is that if you are willing to move and take less pay and a lesser job, you should be able to find something.
Extended unemployment benefits, expanded social programs and the lack of hyper inflation have kept blood from running in the streets.
The real pain is about to be felt by many as unemployment benefits end, social programs are cut and inflation kicks in.
And there still aren’t enough jobs to go around.
2011 could be a very ugly year for America.
They are just bracing for when the bennies run out. If someone was creating an atmosphere for jobs, this would get better.
Novwmber 3rd, the stuff is going to hit the fan.
He is too old and too White for obamma’s army. He will be used as cannon fodder and mine clearing.
They're putting armed guards at the unemployment offices....but can't find the funds to put armed guards on our borders????
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh............WHAT??
Worried about the 99ers, are they?
Yeah. You’d think they’d hire some folks who are unemployed and have them guard the border. ‘Win-win’ as they used to say.
The media will tell me that they are "nutjobs" and the Political Elite will tsk, tsk and say "that's not the way to do it". But it all has to start someplace.
Uh oh....you're becoming deranged for sure. Putting common sense and correct thinking ahead of spin.
Where ever will that get you???
But...I agree with you!
Now, everyone - look for the day when they start arming up the welfare offices. THEN you know this is coming:
As a state legislator said to me once. "That'll never pass, it makes sense." (He supported the idea, too.)
I reckon a gubmint job is out...
I think the most heartening “incidents” that I’ve heard of this weak is when the audiences defied the “non-partisan” League of Women Voters’ ban on the pledge of allegiance.
Say it ain't so, Joe!! (I just had to use that!!).
If the little tin god gets another term...that's the only kind of job there'll be. Maybe - like the virus writers for the "virus security software" companies - you could work in the "spin shop" churning out diatribes against the regime for which they already have a retort??
You are so right. I myself got laid off in January 2003. Despite all I did all the groups and seminars, professional groups I was lucky to get one interview every couple of months. I got a few temp and contract jobs during this time and between that and our savings I barely kept us going. As far as lesser paying jobs, well sometimes that may work for some, but during my experience I found that even though I had twenty years of warehouse/inventory control/materials management and expediting I couldn't even get an interview for a job as a stocker.
In January of 2005 I sat down and did the bills for the month (We were not behind on anything) and told my wife that's it after I paid everything it would leave us with grocery/gas/prescription money for the remainder of the month and then we was broke. God smiled on us and a guy I had met months before at a professional group got me a contract job setting up a new warehouse for a small manufacturing company that he had just started working for as it's Operations Manager.
About the time that ended I got another contract job which led to a permanent position with the client, but we had to move took a beating on our house and we are just now getting out from the moving cost.
So I really mean it when I say: There but by the grace of God go I.
The people do not matter. Only the gum't workers need protection from the payers.... who may want a justifiable retribution! Granted that it isn't the employee's fault, but it is their system which has failed miserably to do anything but transfer wealth. The original ponzi lives on...
Bernie must be extremely jealous!
One the one hand the jobless are too proud to take a lower paying job and on the other hand employers don’t want to hire the overqualified because they won’t be good wage slaves. It’s always something...
