Your so full of it. What about the Obamaloons who swoon on his every word? They have no balance view. More like they have a shared single brain cell and it's stuck. BLSH's posts are "balancing force" to offset these brain-dead morons.
Dear naive ones, here's how it works: the lady sends out 10 resumes a day to jobs she is not qualified for (since spring 2008), so the employers must to turn her down and her benefits continue. This way she doesn't have to take the $10/hr admin support job until her benefits end.
Dude you can't pay your rent off of $10/hr yet support a family. How many of you are in that situation? Also, if you have a Chemistry, Engineering, Physics, Medical degree there's no reason you should have to be out of work. The country is fucked if that's the case. So keep complaining about people being too lazy but I know a bunch of qualified people who are out of work that would have had great luck finding a job 5 years ago. What should they do go back to school after they've got their 4 year degree? Im sure if you guys were in the same boat you'd be just as ambitious as they are.
Most of those b.s. degrees don't mean shit, and they were way overpaid to begin with. BINGO! Good post and 100% true.
Not to worry, no one is losing unemployment benefits as they continue to increase benefits Unemployment Benefits Extension Strongly Considered by Obama Administration Posted on | October 29, 2009 | Over 2 million unemployed Americans stand to benefit from an unemployment benefits extension. There has been quite the buzz around Washington about the possibility of an unemployment benefits extension as early as tomorrow. Under the proposal, unemployed Americans could have their benefits extended by 14 weeks. Americans living in states with an unemployment rate of at least 8.5% could get an additional 6 weeks giving them a total of 20 additional weeks of unemployment.
Overpaid why? Because anyone can get a business degree. Those degrees actually require intelligence and there used to be a large demand and short supply. The main problem for engineering, chemistry, any of the sciences is that now you're competing with someone in India or China who will do the work for dirt cheap resulting in wage arbitrage. Overpaid relative to what? What figures does the average engineer, physicist or chemist make?
Clubber, are you an ignorant twenty-something or just an arrogant idiot? There are plenty of people who want to work, but unemployable from the eyes of the few employers who are hiring. It's tough as hell on the 40+ age bracket who've been displaced for whatever reason. They're protected as a group and most employers won't touch someone who'd have to take a 30% or more pay cut. In their eyes that sort of person is flight risk for the first better paying job or worse, they're unemployed due to incompetence, but because they're protected the employer is stuck. Oh, and BTW, you need to check into the industries that are being off-shored in droves for the folks in NYC that are out of work.
No and no. Just speaking the truth. Jobs are available, but many are content to collect their unemployment checks instead of working at a job "beneath them". I worked in many of those jobs after college before trading. Bartending, security, mail room, etc, etc. I was happy to be making the money until I found my niche. These days no one wants to work in a non glamorous job. They think they're too good for it.
I know it may be mean but people need to realize is that extending the benefits will not help the economy one bit. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day teach him to fish and he'll feed himself for the rest his life. This is the same analogy it might sound cruel but its the truth. If the govt wants to help it can help by building bridges, drilling for oil, mining for coal, giving big tax breaks to technology companies so they'll bring there jobs back. These are some things that will get people to fish vice just throwing money to a bottomless pit that never seems to start anything.
Why not? When you can sit at home and collect virtually the same as if you were working 30-40 hours a week...in theory it would allow you to study a new skill that potentially would pay off better. Of course many don't follow that routine and think the lazy way.
