Can he find two $10 an hour jobs? Have you sat down with him to show him how to manage his finances? How much did your brother pay in unemployment insurance coverage? Has he collected more in unemployment insurance benefits than he paid in over his life time?
I have a cousin staying in my house, taking care of it. I live elsewhere. He has been off of work almost 2 years as my brother has.
Numerous times I have informed of manufacturing hiring.
A building products manufacturer was putting on a third shift, starting $10.00 an hour. he did not check on it.
A refridgerator manufacturer last winter was putting on
a third shift, $10.00 an hour. he did not check on it.
Here’s the equation, while collecting unemployment a person can pick up work doing jobs under table.
Unemployment benefits + tax free money from odd jobs
vs
going to work starting $10.00 an hour.
As for my brother, he doesbn’t even work for cash.
It’s all about what he “can’t” do.
And he knows what is non-essential and what isn’t. He’s 56 years old!
