The real unemployment rate has been stuck at 11.5% for many months now.
A lot of them did what I did. They retired early. All of the jobs that Obama claims to have created stem from retirees who would otherwise still be working.
Sit around the house, get high and watch the tube.
TRUE Story.....a local guy called a radio station here and told this story.....
He was shopping at the local WINCO and saw these obviously homeless guys buying cases and cases of water.....and they used EBT cards. He checked out after them...but, when he went outside, he saw them at the can/bottle recycling center attached to the store....yep...emptying the bottles of water and getting the 5 cents for each bottle. Evidently he then followed them, as they left, and they headed up the street to a local bar....
My 18 year old son has been working since he was 15. There are plenty of jobs.
That “dirty jobs” guy has a website devoted to getting training and jobs for people. It’s quite amazing.
Nope... look for a ‘baby boom’ real soon.
Great sad story
Just think what whoever thought of that scam could do if he turned his efforts to real work.
Can you give me his website url, please....
(personally) been looking since last May, countless applications, numerous interviews, .....nothing...anyone in Northern NJ looking for a driver? (western morris eastern Warren)...parts, point to point, car dealerships?....seems if your over a certain age...you screwed
Employers have the advantage of picking out of say 100...two or three who they deem perfect.
BUT IN ANY CASE YOU MUST KEEP LOOKING.....
I’m a retired machinist. I’ve seen some of these adds They are looking for “Purple Squirrels”.
They want you to be a machinist (manual and CNC), electrician,(including PLC’s diagnostics), fitter, welder, and be available for all three shifts. Then they offer $18.00 an hour.
That’s easy to answer. Simply go to your local DFS office and notice the line of people getting food stamps.
During my off and off tech contracting period of a couple years, I burned a small 401k and my piddly little state retirement savings. I was broke, ripped off on my final pay by a company I regretted ever dealing with, and had no prospects at the time.
My son is a cashier in a grocery store. He was curious why people buy so much heat-&-eat food and expensive meat with an EBT.
Answer: Easy to convert to cash. You can sell those microwave meals to anyone. Meat can be repackaged, frozen and delivered to your “customers” every month.
Move to red states. I know it’s easier said than done, but several of my friends have had luck in Arizona. That being said, there is real age discrimination out there. My thoughts and prayers go out to my brotheres and sisters over 50.
Or go to cool El Paso and run into a great big hassle.
stoned people don’t starve:
MALLOMARS!!!!
Bingo. I know a guy who is not all that old, and has some marketable construction skills. He weaseled his way onto disability and food stamps. Sent the wife off to wait tables under the counter. He spends his days sitting around drinking beer and watching porn.
