State jobless benefits have run out for 3 million

http://www.kansascity.com/mld/kansas...9953589.htm?1c

About 3 million unemployed Americans have exhausted their state
jobless benefits and are ineligible for further federal aid, according
to a policy research organization.

Among that number are 58,800 Missourians and 27,600 Kansans, the
Center on Budget and Policy Priorities said last week.

Only about 34,000 unemployed U.S. workers continued to receive
benefits under the federal Temporary Extended Unemployment
Compensation program, said researcher Isaac Shapiro.

There are about 8 million U.S. workers looking for work.



Still less then at the end of Clinton's first term. ;-)

And most are temporarily out of work, just the the majjority that lack
health insurance...it is a temporary condition, besides, basic economics
teaches that around 5% unemployment is healthy.......if the labor poor
shrinks too much further, it leads to a rapid increase in labor cost, which
can cause rapid inflation.

I'm assuming a typo, that you really wanted to say "labor pool", but I
find your usage somewhat telling.

Yes, true, it took Clinton quite awhile to fix the other Bush's mess,
just as it will take Kerry quite awhile to fix THIS Bush's mess.

Let me get this straight.

The unemployment at the end of Clintons first term was the fault of the
previous POTUS, Bush 1.

The unemployment at the end of Bush 2's first term is the fault of Bush 2.

Nice try Bassy.

You are so simple!!! Clinton inherited a bad economy, with high
unemployment from Bush 1. That takes time to fix. Bush 2, on the other
hand inherited a good economy, with low unemployment, THEN ran it down
the drain.

Nice try, Jimmy.

You say that Bush 2 inherited a *good* economy from Clinton and then ran it
down.

You obviously have no idea how the world and us economies work, the state of
the stock market during q3 and q4 1999 or the amount of debt the average
household was carrying at the end of 1999.

Get back with me after you do some research Bassy.

The unemployment at the end of Bush 2's first term is the fault of Bush
2.

Nice try Bassy.

You are so simple!!! Clinton inherited a bad economy, with high
unemployment from Bush 1. That takes time to fix. Bush 2, on the other
hand inherited a good economy, with low unemployment, THEN ran it down
the drain.

Nice try, Jimmy.

Let me get this straight.

You say that Bush 2 inherited a *good* economy from Clinton and then ran
it down.

You obviously have no idea how the world and us economies work, the state
of the stock market during q3 and q4 1999 or the amount of debt the
average household was carrying at the end of 1999.

Get back with me after you do some research Bassy.

Not to mention that clinton inherited an expanding economy........his 'worst
economy in 'x' years was a flat out lie.

Asslicker once again retains his title of "king of the NG idiots"

You poor, bitter man. You must be taking your wife running off on you
very hard, to be so bitter that you must call people childish names.
May I suggest that you get some divorce support? Oh, you've already
made everybody over there mad at you with your petty crap, too! I'm
sorry you are so bitter about that, but, life goes on. It must be
either that, or you have some inferiority complex, and name calling
makes you feel like a REAL man.

If we cannot re-establish a compact between corporations and workers,
the best thing to do is **** the shareholders. A man or woman's hours,
days, weeks, months, and years of labor are worth as much as anyone's
money.
There is no "compact" between corporations and workers. That may have
been true 30 years ago, but not now. Workers are the "disposable dipers"
of the corporations. Companies expect todays workers to move on after
2-3 years and as a result of the lack of loyaltity to the company, the
conpany has no requirement to display loyaltity to the worker. The old
days of working for a company from "cradle to grave" are gone.

Well, then, I guess the answer for workers is to screw the company at
every opportunity, take what you can get, and then move on to the next
company. Turnabout is fair play, eh?

Actually, it is a bit beyond that. There are some companies in metro
Washington, where unemployment isn't high, that cannot attact workers,
period. They have reputations as the kinds of companies you
describe...and now they are going nowhere because they can't attract a
decent workforce. Perhaps they'll go belly up soon, and their
shareholders will suffer the financial fate they so deserve.

Actually I think it was the baby boomer worker attitude that precipated
the company disregard for the worker. I was a manager for many years and
saw quite a few workers come in, get trained at company expense for
high skill jobs, then move on after 2-3 years because they could expect
an average yearly increase of 5-8% and could jump to another company
(with their training) and get 15-25% increase. then do it again in
another 2-3 years.

A man or woman's labor are certainly of worth, but loyalty is a two way
street.

Our work culture has changed whereby current employment is regarded by
many as a stepping stone in one's career, rather than *being* a career.
Personal achievement or growth has become more important than being a
contributing member of a team. I know in the business I ran, this was
the biggest "people" problem we had to deal with and we were quick to
weed out those that could not grasp the team concept.

A secret to success is to make yourself valuable and that value usually
increases in time.

Speaking of teams ... Sox up 4-2, top of the 4th.

For someone who has been laid off, Cobra costs probably as much as any
unemployment compensation. It is not the answer.

Welcome to America...

But lack of insurance while unemployed and you have assets, is a disaster
waiting. Anybody and especially someone in the high tech and especially the
semiconductor and diskdrive worlds should have enough savings to tide you
over for a year. So many people lived to the max of their paychecks. And
they were normally big paychecks for anyone with a degree.

Pay the 300 a month and the friend with the sick child must pay the
insurance if he is to be solvent in a year. If you can get family insurance
for 300 month then you are doing very well for insurance cost unless you are

The Semiconductor industry has always been cyclic! You have COBRA available
to you. Take another job. May not be as high paying, or you might have to
work harder, but it will tide you over during your search for another good
paying job. And if you think, that I am full of crap, I have been through 7
layoffs, since 1979. Both big and little companies. 4 of them startups.
You do what you have to do to keep your home and health together. Have the
wife work. She may only make $10 / hour at a clerk job, but still brings in
income. Blaming your woes on the GOP is avoiding responsibility. I have
been laid off under both GOP and DEM Presidencies, and Congresses. The
Semiconductor business is one of the worse run industries around. Disk
Drives are about the only high tech industry run worse. Look into the

If he got laid off with you he is eligible for COBRA coverage for 18 months.
Will cost what his company paid for insurance + a max of 10%. This is not
need based, this is a government requirement if a company with more than
about 50 employees laysoff people. Unless his employer went bankrupt and
out of business, he can get the coverage.

When has it ever been the guvmint's responsibility to provide jobs? I
suppose every theater major graduate should blame the guvmint because they
cannot find a job in their chosen profession. Health insurance is availible
for as little as $50 a month, if you have a pre-exisiting condition, then
the cobra is by far the best bet.
