Just wait til the Christmas season when they hire temp workers and Odumbo will state that “the recession is over”..
a tragedy that will effect successive generations.
People’s marketable skills degrade when they sit home on their ass? Who woulda guessed?
Clearly we need to extend unemployment another 100 weeks or so.
In the last 52 weeks, 1.6 million Americans fell off the back end of extended unemployment benefits. There is about 140 million American workers according to the BLS.
Widely heard expectations of another 1.25 to 1.5 Million Americans falling off the back end of the extended unemployment benefits in the next 52 weeks.
That is over 2% of the American workforce.
That’s a lot of people.

Are You Tired of Economy-Killing U.S. Energy Policy? Sign the APPROVE KEYSTONE PIPELINE petition at http://www.FuelingJobs.com TODAY!
The Keystone Pipeline will bring hundreds of thousands of jobs, billions to our economy and help reduce dependence on Middle East Oil.
But radical Greens are waging a last-minute “War on Energy” to KILL the environmentally-friendly Keystone Pipeline Project which would allow America to tap into Northwest American vast oil fields.
Hope and change and stuff will fix this problem. Just ask President Mistake......
I know it’s really hard to find a job, so I don’t want to sound unsympathetic. But seriously, if you’ve gone years without any job, I think there’s got to be something wrong besides the economy.
I got out of college in 1980, at the height of the Carter disaster, with a fistful of academic honors and no jobs at all in my field. So I worked two jobs, one as a record store clerk, both minimum wage, until things improved. At other times, I’ve been laid off with no notice, but I took whatever job I could land to bring in a paycheck, even if it was just stocking shelves. I’ve only collected unemployment once in my life, when I was in the middle of a move and had no other choice, but I got off it as soon as humanly possible. I don’t even know how people can live on it. It was only about $217 a week when I got it.
You have to get out there and work, even if it’s not what you want. There shouldn’t be any such thing as a job that’s beneath you. Just working at anything is bettter for your self-esteem than taking a handout. Plus you’ll be a lot more likely to get promoted to something better if you’re out in the world than if you’re sitting home in your bathrobe. Unless your ideal job is “blogger.”

“...found it especially hard to find jobs...”
“find”....a word right out of the collectivist government handbook.
In our nation one should be able to CREATE (vocatio= i.e. ones’ calling), not “find” work.
The government has placed barriers against start-up business CREATION (at every level), stiffled competition, and regulated corporations right out of the States.
Furthermore, so called public “education” should have every HS grad. capable of starting one’s OWN business. Not “find” work.
