Um...you’re supposed to be looking for a job if you’re collecting unemployment benefits.

not the entitlementally challenged. They worked hard and put into it, why not enjoy spending it and staying home. Maybe more of us should do the same thing........its the only way responsible people will be able to cash in on their hard earned tax money......

“Um...you’re supposed to be looking for a job if you’re collecting unemployment benefits.”

I guess “preparing for a possible exhibit of his photos at a local coffee shop in Dedham” constitutes “looking for a job.”

I was layed off the morning after zero was announced the 'winner' of the election.

I live in rural SW Pa.

I'm 61 years old.

Now ... maybe more citified folk can beat the pavement "looking for a job" eight hrs a day, five days a week and report to the UC people they are looking for work ... but I doubt it.

In this modern electronic age, a resume' (almost useless, but one tries, eh?) goes out to a couple of thousand prospective employers with a keystroke.

I went down to the unemployment office the day I was layed off to see what they had, approached the vet rep with 3 potentials, and he pulled up my record (this is not my first rodeo), and with a keystroke, sent my resume out.

"That's it?"

"That's it"

No 3x5 card with a name, address and phone number ... just ..... that's it.

I will not feel guilty about losing a job that was rumored to be lost if zero got in, and ultimately I'm collecting.

And anyone that talks down on we whom are out of work because of a beyond our control layoff is just another elitist puke they say they ain't.
