How about you get no more than 3 months of unemployment period.
since there are 5 applicants for every job, how is this going to help
My wife just got cold called to go sell road signs for $70,000 a year
plus expenses and benefits so some people can still find work.
The kid she mentored up from a $10/hr handyman is now working for a
gate company making $50k with benefits.
That may not sound like much money up north or in California but it is
good for SW Florida.
There are still opportunities out there. You just need to expand your
horizons. The job you used top have may be gone but that doesn't mean
all jobs are gone. The gate kid has an accounting degree and a
business degree but he found there is more money in fixing gates. It
beats working in a car wash, where he was when my wife first hired
him.
I think you are right, but you are not giving the full impact of the
quality of jobs. There are always jobs at minimum wage, must have car, 4
hours a day 50 miles away.
But they must be livable jobs. Which there is but for a very few skill
sets and huge decrease in wages.
While I do feel for the middle class pillaging going on, they have to
stop vooting for idiots liek Obama that have $1.6 billion of debt spend
for corrupt banks and corrupt business but none for the middle class.
People need to ask what Obama and the democrats has done for the middle
class backbone of USA?... And the answer is not pretty.
You think that old fart and his crazy, simple-minded running mate would be
doing better? We'd be in a "Great Depression" right now, not a Bush
Recession.
We need to bury the concept that we should "protect" the wealthy because
someday we'll be rich and when we are, we'll want to enjoy all the
benefits of being wealthy.
We need to rebuild our social safety nets so that when economic or medical
disaster devastate families, we don't simply discard them on the side of
the road.
The sort of "capitalism" we now have in the United States will only make
the rich richer.
**** the rich.
