If in that 8.1% figure, they are not counting the people who have GIVEN UP looking for a job, then the number is essentially misleading and thus, useless.

IF the gentleman occupying the White House had a name that ended with “R” (republican for those in Rio Lynda), the media, print, TV, Radio and smoke signals would be having the worst cases of hysteria in the history of mankind.
Unemployment OVER 4%? I can hear the screaming now, condemning the Republican president to the heavens.
Unemployment DOUBLE 4% with a (D) president? Listen to the Sounds of Silence.
How do you spell Hiprokasy?

When everyone hasn’t been working long enough unemployment will be zero

These numberes are easy to fudge. The unemployment rate is determined by surveys. Reagan reduced the unemployment rate by including the military into the workforce. They previously hadn’t been included. Clinton reduced the unemployment rate by changing the survey to exclude inner-city populationos. Clinton put the inner-city population back in just before exiting the White House. Who knows what tricks Obama is using.

Same here, I have been out of work for now 1 year and 4 months. Having been sending out resumes even if I don’t qualify but shoot I sitll submit anyway. Thank God my brother is helping me with my rent but for other bills now I’m stuck. I am just to the point of getting a Online Payday Loan. I know the interest is killer but I don’t want to lose my car, I need it.

NOOOOOOOO!!!

You don't mean to tell me that the devil-worshipping, Pro-Obamacare, Pelosi-votin, Socialist/Communist Climate Change suckers have a bad economy???

You could’ve knocked me over with a ‘57 Buick!

What they need to do is raise taxes and make more people unemployed so that the unemployment checks will stimulate the economy of California....at least that's what aunty Nancy says.

Just think of the contortions they will have to go through to keep the number down if the retroactive unemployment extension is passed and hundreds of thousands are suddenly returned to the unemployment roles.

No I’m here in California. It takes money to move and right now I do not have anything except selling my mother jewelry and found some paintings from my childhood which I’m not attach. Right now just looking to see what I can sell

I would check it out. Some of those companies might give you some seed money. My neighbor was a “warranty” guy for a home builder. Believe me, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist. He got hired by a company here in Houston. They trained him, paid all of his expenses and he now works 30 days in North Dakota and 10 days home. He sold his house for $190k and bought another one for close to $300k. And by the way, he’s in management.

Hannity is working with a company called MDI. Check ‘em out.

Good Luck on that. I too applied with temp agency and nothing. I do know people who got jobs now thru them but I also know some didn’t. Wish you the best.
