There are some programs for “displaced workers” or those participating in government-sponsored training programs where the government picks-up a portion of their starting wage as an incentive to hire them.
My guess is that most get laid-off the day after the incentives run out.
From what I understand, it is only those affected by NAFTA. It’s a special program.
I don’t think they pay exactly what you making before though. Can’t imagine him making $50k on unemployment.
One of my best buds works for Worksource and across his office is another state-sponsored office which provides FREE service to pay for your electricity if you are at the “poverty level”. When I pick him up for lunch, there’s sometimes a fist fight or a commotion going on on that side of the floor. Then I noticed the peeps lining up and it’s 95% Holder’s peeps. Your story might hold true with the many freebie crap this gubmint’ provides to the low IQ voters.
