If anyone here is unemployed/underemployed or has a relative, family member, friend or co-religionist who is, please FReepmail me. I have been a career counselor and recruiter since 1983.

Sorry but that’s the way it is. All this crap about how if we only did away with corporate income tax or dropped regulations or did away with Obamacare and then all these jobs would come flowing back is just that, crap. Corporations look at the bottom line only, and any chance they have to ship a job overseas to someone making a third of what an American makes they’ll take. It’s just the way companies operate today. And has been for going on 15 or 20 years now.

Maile, 58, plans to travel to Washington, D.C., in the coming weeks to raise her voice for benefits for the long-term unemployed. If Congress fails to act before leaving town for the year, benefits will expire for workers who have searched fruitlessly for jobs for more than 99 weeks. Some 6 million workers will stop receiving weekly compensation of about $300.

Not this chit again!

Okay, so we need to take money that isn't there, put it up for a loan, print bills for those unemployed and make promises for repayment and pay those who don't produce the same as those who do produce so we can't tell the difference between the two until we no longer can survive financially.

It's the only compassionate thing to do. /s

Vuala, communism without freedom! Oh joy!

On the plus side, sounds like Maile has plenty of technical skills to offer and she’s a woman and possibly non-white. The big minus is her age, after 55 it’s very difficult to find a high paying salaryman job in a new company even in a good economy. I’m surprised she wasn’t more protected since she’s so close to retirement age.

Perhaps unemployed Americans should be busy filling out employment applications.

Just a thought.

Simply because our so-called “leadership” have sold America to communist China, doesn’t mean we should stop trying.

Apply for jobs, every minute. Don’t ever quit.

Meanwhile, oppose the globalist traitors, with every fiber of your being.

America first.
