My daughter’s company closed her division. She received unemployment checks and also found a little part-time job at a bank while searching high and low for a real job that would actually keep their house payments paid. She was getting discouraged.
WE prayed for her here. Her unemployment benefits ran out at the end of the year; her new full-time job started then. She’s one of the lucky ones. Though her new full-time job pays half what her old full-time job paid, they can still “make it.” But with a considerably lowered standard of living.
Many hardworking people are in similar circumstances, less lucky perhaps than Katy, less prayed-for. They’d love to go to work, but where’s the work? China?
God bless your daughter, Veto! I hope she can only go up and up and up!
I became unemployed once shortly after we were married. Took handyman and gardening jobs to make ends meet. Did any kind of labor whatsoever that paid the bills. Worked part-time as a dishwasher and bus boy while I went to programming school. Have never been unemployed for more than a day since. There are always jobs available, assuming you’re willing to temporarily do menial tasks or jobs “Americans don’t like to do.”
