Try looking for work after you turn 50! I just got laid off again after working 5 months. I am not eligible for unemployment because I was laid off most of last year. Obama says unemployment claims are down but the truth is people are still unemployed but ran out of benefits. They need to use the stimulus money they already took and fund the unemployment claims instead of lining the pockets of the crooks who started this mess in the banking industry. Let Fannie and Freddie fail
not the citizens/ tax payers who will be paying back all that stimulus money they stoled.

I tell you what, after over 30 years in construction, this is the first time I have been off work for more than 5 months. It’s going to be at least a year before I’m dispatched. If my first job doesn’t last for 6 months, I’m screwed since unemployment requires that much time to figure a benefit amount… I know I’m not alone… I gotta wonder if the government figured that out yet?!?

If you think unemployment is putting severe stress on the govts, wait and see what stress they put on them when their benefits run out. Half will turn to crime… then you’ll have stress.

state unemployment taxes were systematically cut over the past twenty years.
therefore, they were underfunded to meet a crisis.
we are reaping the benefits of tax cuts right now……..
