Well, I’m happy to report that I’ve gone from a year of unemployment to nine months of underemployment and am now starting a job that makes close to what I made before the recession. I count myself blessed (poorer but blessed). I know a lot of people who are worse off.
Good for you OrangeHoof, as for me I have been unemployed since October of last year. I just finished my 1st Federal Tier, and after sending out resumes. I got 1 call for an interview but that has not panned out. As of right now I’m relying on Online Payday Loans to get me thru, but those interest rate are killers. Like I said one has to do what they got to do just to get by. I hope they extend my unemployment.

Well, Obama will say this — if it weren’t for the things he did for America’s economy you wouldn’t be in the happy position you’re in. What happened to you was Bush’ fault.
