Speaker Boehner Statement on November Unemployment Report
2011-12-03 04:53:00 Speaker Boehner Statement on November Unemployment Report WASHINGTON, DC (Dec 2)House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) issued the following statement today after the Department of Labor released its unemployment report for November 2011:?Any job creation is welcome news, but the jobless rate in this country is still unacceptable. Today marks the 34th consecutive month of unemployment above eight percent. As you may remember, the Obama administration promised unemployment would stay below eight percent if its ?stimulus? was enacted. That promise has gone unfulfilled.?Because the president?s policies have failed, the House has passed a series of bills designed to remove government barriers to private sector job creation. There are now 25 bipartisan jobs bills passed by the House awaiting a vote in the Senate. The key to getting all of these jobs measures enacted is the United States Senate. President Obama should use this opportunity to call on Senate Democrats to immediately give these b...

Weekly Unemployment Claims Surprise Analysts: Stock Market Soars
2011-03-03 23:36:00 One constant you can bank on in this economy is change! The jobless claims for the week ending 2/26 came in at 368,000 which surprised analysts who expected the number to be at 398,000. This number was also down 20,000 from the prior week's revised figure of 388,000. The four-week moving average is 388,500, a decrease of 12,750 in claims.

Illinois also in hock to cover unemployment benefits
2011-02-16 19:26:00 To ensure that state continue to pay unemployment benefits, they can borrow billions from the federal government. Thanks to our state leaders' (Democrats) gross financial mismanagement, it's not only the pension funds of retired teachers and state workers that are in this fix. Illinois had to borrow some $2.5 billion to help support Illinois' unemployed workers. Here's how it works, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures: The Federal Unemployment Account (FUA) provides for a loan fund for state unemployment programs to ensure a continued flow of benefits during times of economic downturn. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration, 30 states and the U.S. Virgin Islands are currently borrowing to cover unemployment benefits. Five -states, Maryland, New Hampshire,...

Are You Entitled to Unemployment Benefits?
2010-12-28 19:07:00 With the signing of the extention of Unemployment Benefit Insurance last week more unemployed workers will have access to extended unemployment benefits. The maximim length of benefits is still capped at 99- weeks, but the new law will enable more workers to gain access to additonal coverage after they have exhausted their state benefits. This is great news for unemployed workers struggling to get a job in our sluggish economy. Yet, receiving unemployment benefits is not a guarantee unless you meet the state criteria for the right to collect compensation. The rules are straight forward, but are very specific as to whether you qualify for benefits. My guess is there are a number of people that need financial aide...
Finally Off Unemployment! The Joy of Landing a Job.
2010-12-11 21:25:00 Being unemployed is something that no one wants. For those lucky enough to receive unemployment benefits it still is only a temporary solution to help survive this economy until you find employment. Losing a job is devastating for not only yourself, but for other members of the family that have to carry the load of making money to help support the family during tough times. The longer someone is unemployed the more difficult it is on your relationship with your partner and children, not to mention your self-esteem, which is deflated when you are unemployed and unable to find work. My dental hygienist was stressed out over her husband losing his job as department manager at Bed, Bath &...

Unemployment Worst since the Great Depression, NOT Getting Better
2010-12-09 14:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Don't believe a word of the happy talk you hear from the Obama Administration when they say that the jobs situation is getting better. It isn't. In fact, the current job loss stats are the worst since the years right after the Great Depression and it is not getting better. The CalculatedRiskBlog had this disheartening graph showing that the jobs situation is worse than every down turn from 1948 to date. What the graph also shows is that, contrary to what the administration is constantly saying, jobs have flattened out and are not coming back at this time. The other dips in previous recessions show that jobs came back fairly quickly, but this time they are...

Unemployment News: United We Stand - in the Unemployment Line that is
2010-10-30 02:29:00 With the ?Silly Season? of political discontent nearing an end and our most recent Terror threat (delivery via UPS from Yemen), the term ?United We Stand? should have special meaning to all Americans. These days, any unemployment news we hear is how more of us are standing united all right - in the Unemployment Line that is.Of those experiencing the heartbreak of unemployment, the most desperate by far are known as the 99ers. There are over 5 million Americans who have been without any income from UI benefits for 8 months. With no jobs in sight for these long term unemployed ?exhaustees? - the rapidly approaching holiday season will be nothing to celebrate.It is not just about no gifts from Santa (but a Tier 5 from Congress would be nice), it is the threat of winter approaching with so many living in their cars or on the streets. No Tier 5 before Thanksgiving = a Death Sentence for many 99ers.For many of us who are frantically holding on, barely one step ahead of eviction, there are...
Unemployment News: Glenn Beck talks 99ers on Today?s Fox Show
2010-10-28 02:30:00 Turn on any TV and you are bound to be slammed with talk of the midterm elections or unemployment news. The unemployment news is always bad these days, but today Glenn Beck talked about the 99ers on his Fox show.Being a 99er myself and belonging to the American 99ers Union Beck discusses during his program, I can tell you that I am an expert on the 99er issue and really wish Mr. Beck had contacted me or one of the other 5 million 99ers to fact check his story - but then again - we are talking about Glenn Beck, who doesn?t ever really deal in facts.The 99er talk begins at 13:05 in the 1st video and continues in the 2nd video below it. Boy has this guy got just about everything wrong. I guess he won't fork over the $$$ to pay for fact checkers. If he was actually as concerned about the unemployed as he represents in his video - he would at least hire one fact checker, right? Come on man - Glenn, buddy - try to practice what you preach. It would give you a little something you cannot ...
Unemployment News: Millions Still Waiting For Assistance From Congress
2010-10-27 01:19:00 It isn?t difficult to see the unemployment news for America is not good. It is terrible and getting worse by the day. Millions of Americans are still waiting for assistance from Congress. Unfortunately, those in Washington only care about the upcoming election, while the devastated long term unemployed are wondering how they will survive until help arrives. Too bad everyone running for office in the midterms isn?t forced to live in one of the tent cities depicted below (see all 3 videos) until Tier 5 is passed.The post election unemployment nightmare is a great possibility.

Unemployment in America: We are MAD as HELL!
2010-10-25 22:34:00 American Unemployed are MAD as hell at being ignored. Every day in our country, millions of unemployed are suffering greatly, going hungry, homeless and literally dying. So what is our government doing to help? NOTHING!The obligation of the individual to act justly toward his fellowman, requires him (as far as that is possible) to do nothing that inflicts injury on them by depriving them of the things they need in order to make good lives for themselves. The positive side consists of actions that facilitate or enhance the pursuit of happiness by others, through helping them to obtain goods that they need, but that they cannot obtain wholly by their own efforts.The obligation of the organized community or of its government is to act justly toward its members or subjects. This function is crucial to a properly functioning government and a thriving society. A just government is one that secures, as far as that is possible, the natural rights of all who are subject to it. In other word...
Unemployment panic: What is a 99er to do?
2010-10-24 21:27:00 Unemployment panic is rampant in America today, but what is a 99er to do without money to eat, a place to live or even the necessities to continue their futile job search?According to Open Congress last week:"There are about 20 major pieces of legislation being considered for floor time in the lame-duck session, and it?s hard to predict what the dynamic in Congress is going to be after the election. For example, what happenes if Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid [D, NV], who controls what gets voted on in the Senate, is defeated in the mid-terms? Does he scramble to pass a last legacy bill on food safety or renewable energy instead of spending the final days of his 24 year career fighting for a temporary extension of benefits for the unemployed folks that he has already spent a good deal of time fighting for? Incentives and motivations will change significantly depending n what happens on Nov. 2, so, if you care about there being a lifeline for the millions of long-term unemployed a...
