jobs
A friend and I were recently talking about the job situation. She pointed out that unemployment benefits were sometimes better than low paying jobs out there especially for the educated or experienced since your benefits could actually be reduced. However, I still resist the idea that a person who could be working is nevertheless on government support. I think unemployment benefits should be the last resort as the 99ers understand better now.
The number of Americans filing for first-time unemployment benefits rose unexpectedly to 445,000 from 410,000 in the prior week, a Labor Department report showed. It was the biggest one-week jump in about six months and confounded analyst forecasts for a small drop to 405,000. - Reuters
I wonder if some of those are people who really are not able to find jobs for basic sustenance.
