Shouldn't they have moved to the cheaper place about month 2 or 3 of no employment?
That way, the kids would have been enrolled in a school for the whole year, or they could have home schooled and moved.
I guess because I have moved many times during my adult life, I am less fearful of starting over elsewhere than some others.There are two of them. One couldn't have moved for a job elsewhere first?
I wonder who they voted for....
Huh? I read this and scratched my head as it makes no sense. If anything, having benefits end will make people more motivated to look for jobs, not less.
It's strange, but here's how it works. You lose your job. You apply for unemployment. Those that don't qualify for unemployment are not counted as unemployed(!). To collect unemployment you have to document your attempts to find work. If you fail to find work over a period of time you lose your unemployment and you are no longer counted as unemployed.
The official unemployed numbers are those collecting unemployment "benefits." The real number of unemployed americans is something very different (see shadowstats.com)
