Maybe raising the minimum wage about 10% last summers wasn't a great idea? Maybe we should stop scaring the heck out of potential employers?
Maybe Obama should make it a law that you have to have a job.
That’s how they fixed health care right? {sarc}
I want to go back to 2005, when we had the worst economy since the depression and unemployment was around 5%. I’ve had enough of “recovery summer” with its 10% unemployment (16% when you count the underemployed).
Maybe we should stop importing a million new desperate job seekers a year who MUST be hired in preference to Americans because Affirmative Action demands it?
Obama obviously loves the chronically unemployed, he’s making so many of them.
Before it’s over, they’ll all be wishing they had one of those $10.00 an hour jobs they wouldn’t take while the unemployment checks were rolling in.
It’s been almost 2 years for my brother. He says, “What do you expect me to do? Take a $10.00 an hour job and lose my house?”
It’s always the house he’ll be losing. Not the wife’s cigarette habit, or the dog, the 3 cats, or the lottery tickets, or the daily energy drinks and other non-essentials.
Never any of these things that will be lost, it’ll be his house, according to him for not be able to make the mortgage payment.
I told him, “Work TWO $10.00 an hour jobs.”
What would the pioneers and the people that built this nation say about such people?
Ms. Jarrin said she wept as she drove away from her old life last month, wondering if she would ever be able to reclaim it.
Someone who can hang out for 99 weeks without making something happen probably doesn’t have the drive and imagination to make it in this new economy. She should marry a decent man and work at keeping him happy.
You could lower the minimum wage $1.50 today, and it's not going to fix this economic disaster.
Deport several hundred thousand illegals every week from the U.S., and reform the endless chain immigration, lower business taxes, and dramatically reduce the size of the federal government and only then you'll start to see some improvements.
Well Obama, Democrats and RINOs want to keep 20 to 30 million illegals in the country doing jobs that Americans cannot get access to in some cases. Employers want to pay nothing and get slaves or thanks to affirmative action they have to hire minorities with green cards and no green cards.
How about ending Free Trade with Communist China, NAFTA, CAFTA....and all the other Liberal Globalist trade deals.
You can put America back to work by bringing jobs back.
Too many support Free Trade endorsed by the UN, George Soros, Al Gore, Jimmy Carter, the Clintons, Obama, etc....Looks like the US is looking more like the EU everyday
We have Economic Failure....
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
There is, it's called family members.
Shelter system? Have you heard what Section 8 has been up to lately?????
“Her three grown sons are unable to help her.” Have to wonder about her parentling skills.
Wonder why not?
NY Times: “Desperation Grows as Unemployment Benefits End”\
English translation: “Employment Grows as Unemployment Benefits End”
In 99 weeks she could have found some kind of job even if it was working for Molly Maid.
Too proud to lower herself to manual labor? That pride will go when she gets hungry.
Wonder how that Hopey-Changy thing is working for her...
First of all no matter what kind of mom she may be her children need to assist her. Second how did she manage to get in debt for $92,000 for her education?
“I owe $92,000 for an education which is basically worthless,” she said. WOW
For all those people out there a job, I got a new job, sold my house, and found a part-time job to supplant my new full-time job.
This all happened in the latter half of 2009. Anyone can get a job; it takes a resume, hundreds of phone calls, and resolve.
