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.
Sure she did. And I just got a cold call offering me a great
opportunity to sell phone booth services to local merchants.
Get a cut out of every call too.
Worth maybe $150k a year he said, if I hustle and I pick the right areas
with heavy pay phone traffic.
Like her I turned the offer down.
You know what they call job offers from cold callers?
Bull****.
Oh wait. You mean the cold caller found work. I get it now.

Jim - Be wary of Greeks bearing gifts.

This is a real offer. She does business with the guy now.

Well, hell's bells.
If this fellow's name is Ralph, you should do this:
Call the Secretary of Labor, Hilda Solis.
Say, "Hilda, Ralph called my wife and offered her a $70k job with
benefits. She didn't take it, but it tells me that there should be no
problem with the folks finding work. Stop sending unemployment checks.
The country's unemployment problem is over. Just get a hold of Ralph."

I'm sure Hilda will be very pleased with your news.

Jim - We're just drowning in jobs around here too.
