I am with Beck — just for the heck of it I scanned the Want Ads today and found about 50 positions I could fill if I was willing to take a bit of a pay cut.
This isn’t about unemployment nor underemployment — it is about picky people.
Unemployment Insurance was never meant to be a lifestyle. Maybe we need to start profiling “99er Kings” like “Welfare Queens.” And to do nothing for 2 years sounds pretty sweet to me.
And don’t give me that guff about “working every day” to get a job. A few hours at most gets that done. I assure you if the gravy train caboose were to go by, all of a sudden than clerk job at PetSmart would look pretty damn good.
How much of a pay cut are you talking? Give some numbers. From where to where?
“I scanned the Want Ads today and found about 50 positions I could fill if I was willing to take a bit of a pay cut.”
Just because you can find an ad for a job that you think you are qualified for, that still doesn’t mean anyone would hire you. I don’t anything about you, but I wouldn’t hire you just because of your cocky attitude that you think you deserve a job.
Exactly. Some states pay more than $600 PER WEEK unemployment compensation. Those people are NOT going to take a job making $500 a week.
ok, Bozo, apply for those 50 positions and see how many interviews you get. I bet you get ZERO. People like you that think your crap doesn’t stink need to learn a little humility. Hopefully, you won’t have to learn it the hard way.
