If you have no job you are unemployed.
Anybody have a current link or map of the best and worst states for employment?
The sooner we get rid of Obama, the sooner our US economy will turn around.
It is the Obama administration and his commie cohorts in the Senate that are holding the country back as far as jobs are concerned.
Abd make no mistake. It is purposeful.

Let’s see now...companies can hire someone in a foreign land and pay around $2 per day. Or they can hire someone in the U.S. and pay around $8 per hour or more. What are they going to do?
Many people speak of inflation - but right now, there are many workers, both within the U.S. and around the world, seeking each job. That means deflation. It will get worse.
We are, presently, in a balance sheet recession - which is very different from a typical business-cycle recession. It is, at best, only half-way finished. We are likely to see another recession in late 2011, early 2012. Unemployment will go up. (To understand this new type of recession, see the text “This time is different” by Rogoff).
By the way - GDP = G + I + C + Net Exports, with G standing for government spending, I for investment, and C for consumption. If spending gets cut, we will get a recession. Of course, if we don’t cut spending, the outcome will be even worse...
I have been applying for jobs like mad. I graduated college but have serious credit problems as a result. If depression and panic attacks aren’t enough, the replies to my job applications are ALL saying “we’re sorry, but we’re continuing to look for other qualified candidates.” You’re hypothesizing that I can’t get a job because of my credit history? I’ve never thought of that. I was told that if I graduated college, I could get any job I wanted. But graduating college put me into debt. So I can’t get a job because I’m in debt because I went to college. You’re right, FUBARACK O!
I think the credit checks have something to do with the enormous slack in the employment market. I was looking for a job not too long ago and I have never been treated like a side of beef as I was. Employers can be very picky in this kind of job market, and they are.
I see your point, though. If someone has a problem with being laid off and have problems keeping up with the bills or have to file bankruptcy it just makes it all that much harder to bounce back.
There’s other things to do though. If a real job can’t be found one can at least try to make their own.
Yes, it’s called a depression, and - BS government assurances notwithstanding - America’s been in one for about two years now.
