November 2, 2009 · Posted in Uncategorized
We would like to thank you all for your unemployed and trying stories. We encourage you to send us emails with your stories!
- hi me and family our suffering u guys have no idea we are about to be homeless soon so please please help thank damon family
- I have been trying to get a job for over 1 & 1/2 years now. I even went to a medical secretary school to get a certificate because that was suppose to be the only growing industry. Problem is with no one working they only take people with over one year of experience. I would now like to get a liscence in Coding, but if I have no benefits I don’t know what I will do. I am over 50 years old and a widow. Please extend the unemployment benefits for those of us who have no where else to turn. There are really no jobs out there, at least in Ohio. Even the temp agencies have no jobs anymore. Sincerely, Cynthia Link
- Please pass the unemployment bill SOON!!! It will be a very tough Thanksgiving without any more benefits. My benefits ran out in October.
- I am a single, 58 year old woman, who has worked in the film industry for over 30 years. I have been out of work for close to 3 years due to first an 8 month writer strike and then the actors threathened to strike for close to a year. Films and now tv series have been leaving LA for out of state productions at an alarming rate. I am not old enough to retire. My home out of state is in foreclosure. I sold my only car last year to pay bills. I have been having to resort to food banks for the first time in my life. Because I still technically own property (even though it is in foreclosure), I don’t qualify for any welfare. I am desparate!!! My Great Grandfather immigrated from Ireland to serve in the Civil War. I have worked all my life in the US and never applied for welfare. I NEED HELP NOW!! PLEASE PASS THIS NEW UNEMPLOYMENT EXTENSION. MY LAST UNEMPLOYMENT CHECK WAS ON AUGUST 29, 2009. I HAVE HAD NO INCOME COMING IN SINCE. Sincerely, Lola Chambers
- I sure wish you all would extened the unemployment now. I’ve tried to find a job each day and no luck. with all my knowledge and exsperice of 29 year with the same company you’d think that it would be easier. but it isn’t… I need the money just to live from week to week. Have you been to the grocery store lately, you’d understand that it isn’t cheep anymore…. Please pass this asap Thanks
