'99ers' exhaust benefits, Thousands are banding together to ask for more extensions!

I think the government should get rid of Unemployement Insurance. If you are unemployed and need money the goverment gives you money but then you have to make a commitment to join Us armed forces for two years. That way people get training in a different field and have a different set of skills to use in the job place. If we get rid of UI, you will see US productivity go through the roof implementing my Military commitment plan.

Hi joker, forget about the military if u are over 40!

I would love to join the military if I can get in. If am too old for combat, I can work their computers better than a lot of people. I can also learn medical task. Not sure if I am so good at killing others.

Quote from FightTheFuture:

There are 2.6 million unfilled jobs in the U.S. Why??

Yes, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ JOLTS (Job Openings and Labor Turnover Summary), there were just under 2.6 million job openings on the last business day of May. (The report was released July 7.) These are jobs that employers are actively recruiting to fill, not just slots they’re leaving open until the economy gets better.

How many of these are "management trainee" jobs that are really commission-only sales jobs?

And other jobs with such exact experience requirement that few can meet.

A friend went back to school. Last year, she graduated from 4-year nursing program. Now they said she does not have nursing experience. Instead, 500 foreign nurses were imported into her area (Seattle).

Any real job has hundreds if not thousands of applicants.
 
Quote from the1:

LOL! My neighbor used to work at a high paying job in the trades and not surprisingly he's unemployed. He has applied to moving companies, shipping companies, HD, LOW, got retrained to do flag work on road construction. Guess what? Yeah, he's still unemployed. Perhaps you could come up with 5 more things he could try and I'll let him know :D I'm amazed at how ignorant the employed are. If you have a job you have no idea what it is like to find work because you are experiencing the heartache.

Ignorant? Hmm, ok.

If you can't even get hired at homeydepot or lowes you are basically all done, retired. Maybe its their drug testing policy that is the problem? :)

What made u think Home Depot or Lowes is hiring where he is? If any of these places is hiring, there would be a long line of applicants!

Perhaps many of the unemployed are all done!

By the way, many new grads from a year ago are not finding jobs. These kids are not on unemployementt benefits. they don't have a chance to get started.
