I worked for a company for 23 years and then they moved to Mexico. Most of the companies around here left, so I went back to college at the age of 56. Now, jobs are starting to come back and they also have decent pay, unless anything under $60K a year isn't enough. My d-i-l just got hired for $32K per year for a new company that is already expanding. I was offered a job after I get out of college. If you lose your job due to NAFTA, you can get free re-training or even college. Don't give up on yourself or else others will give up on you, too.
Not true. If you do not produce a tangible product, you don't get that benefit. First thing we checked out. IT workers are service industry and any unemployment office will tell you they don't qualify for training, etc. We are pariahs in the system. The papers won't print anything, the unemployment office isn't doing a thing for us. We've been written off for all practical purposes. We - not me. It ain't about me. I can talk about my personal experience here because I know all the things at issue complicating my situation. Others have their own complications. But some here want to make it about me and blame me and all those who have been put out of work for what is being done to them because they don't want anybody to put the blame where it belongs.I'm here to lay the blame where it belongs. That ticks them off. The truth threatens their percentage.
