    33 KB Supporting the Long Term Unemployed Anonymous 07/23/10(Fri)20:36 No.1802455  
    President Obama has signed a bill extending unemployment benefits again. While this is good and all for those who have still yet to find jobs, this is really a band-aid to what is really needed in America: A long term solution support those who are going to be unemployed for a long time.

    The US will have a high unemployment rate for sometime, and may rival the Lost Decade in Japan. So we need real solutions.

    We have three questions here:

    1. Is there a better way to support the unemployed now and after the Great Depression II?
    2. In addition: How to reduce the unemployment rate in the long term?
    3. How can we reduce the unemployment rate to effectively zero percent?

    (When I'm talking about unemployment I mean everyone who is unemployed regardless of receiving unemployment benefits.)

    I'm unemployed. I hate it. I've been actively looking for work for almost a year, but to no avail

    It's not the money, I can live off benefits, it's just the feeling of worthlessness. I wish the government offered some kind of work for benefits program, maybe work that is currently done by volounteer workers. Anything to get me out of the house

    Britfag by the way, not sure if you already have programs like this in the divided states of embarassment

    One thing to consider regarding to any deficit spending is that we are borrowing based off hypothetical future earnings of citizens who have not even been born yet.

    We are literally robbing our grandkids to pay for our day to day living.

    Jesus do you have credit card debt? Your parents? What if your earnings were taxed to pay down your parents debt? The situation becomes untenable.

    Unemp Amerifag here: I got fired a few months ago between college quarters. I'm just waiting the summer out until school starts. The problem is most everyone I know is either going to school, planning on going or stuck in dead end jobs. Or in the military, another form of welfare.

    You can't. There will always be unemployment because people will have to change jobs and re-tool themselves for a changing economy.

    Unemployment has only ever been about as low as 3%, and that's when everyone's handing you a job offer left and right.

    You might be talking about shovel-ready jobs for people with benefits. It sounds awfullying like workfare, where welfare workers work jobs to earn their benefits. A better idea is not just make make-work jobs, but to create jobs with a career track. Career track jobs are much more better than make-work jobs because if a person likes the job they can earn experience and make a career out of it.

    I'm in the same situation as you. I've start working as a volunteer at a local art gallery (a day or two here and there when they need me) just so I'm not sitting around all day. It helps a bit. Also if when I'm applying for a job it at least shows I'm not sitting around doing nothing. Also its on the off chance that I meet someone through the group that can point me towards a real job.

    Unemployment is all what some people think its cracked up to be. Sure a week or two isn't bad after that its terminal boredom.

    Yes, but getting down to practically zero is something that is possible. It does not have to be PAID work, but the unemployed need to be supported if they are part of the three percent.

    PROTIP: Volunteering does not pay the bills.

    I have been unemployed for 3 months. I am unable to make rent. I will probably be homeless soon. The utilities and rent are paid out intil next month, but I have no idea where I'm going to get the money to pay for August's rent. I have sent out hundreds of resumes. I honestly do not know anywhere else to apply or submit a resume. I may well have applied at a thousand businesses by now.

    Recently, I picked up a little job. I work for 12 hours starting at 5am in the sun all day long to make $65. I can only do this once a week. This is not enough off of which to live.

    I do not qualify for unemployment anyway, but if I did, I would credit this extension with having saved me from destitution, the brink of which I now face.

    I don't get how someone cannot find a job, I have never been without a job since I turned 15. Even before that I'd do yard work for neighbors. Work at Burger King, take a Civil Service test, paint houses/mow lawns, it's not really that hard.

    For every person who lands a job, there's a person who does the same thing and did not have the same luck. Getting hired depends on several factors, including luck.

    Took all Civil Service tests available to be taken.

    Applied at every fast food restaraunt in town.

    Applied at four different lawnmowing services. House painting services in town are all small businesses driven by nepotism.

    You may not see how hard it is to find a job, because you have never been out of a job since you were fifteen. But as a fact of practice, many businesses are not accepting applications from people which do not, at the time of application, already have a job.

    It's easy to say it's easy when you aren't in the situation. Like I said before, I get $65 a week. That is the only job I have found in months.

    Is there honestly any way unemployed people can work if there are no jobs to be filled? If there are jobs to be filled, and the unemployed people are not qualified to meet the job requirements, then I would consider there to be a problem in the education system, public elementary, to private college education. Or it could be a problem inherint to the individual. If they choose not to participate in public secondary/highschooling, and expect some sort of job, they are misinformed.

    If you're sending out 100's of resumes and not even getting interviews then something is wrong with your resume.

    If you're getting interviews but nobody is hiring you then something is wrong with your personality.
