Unemployed and Trying Stories; Lack of Jobs Available
November 3, 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! Please vote on the Unemployment Benefits Extension poll as well!
- I know that all of us who are on unemployment would really rather not be. Unfortunately due to the lack of jobs we are forced to be. My story as well as a lot of Californian’s is that I am unemployed. My husband is a state worker who is working but loses three days a month of pay due to the furlough California has implemented. This makes it even harder on people who are trying to budget and pay their bills let alone anything else. We also have 4 children (2 of them we pay child support for). When my unemployment was coming in it covered a little bit of what my husband was having cut from his salary; but now it has expired and we are left with very little to support our family. So as you can see not only are we loosing money from me being unable to find a job, but also loosing money from my husband being furloughed for three days a month. You might think that my husband getting 3 days off a month is a good thing the only problem with that is that because of his job he cannot take off the time like other state workers. He is working 3 days a month without pay.
So please get the extension passed so that families like mine in California can start getting a little ahead of the game. We would really appreciate it. Thank you.
- I am a 45 year old man and a US veteran in the USMC. I have been out of work since 2-08 and I have gotten the UI benefits but according to my local office in Griffin Georgia I have no more money available for me. My wife Tina can not work due to her being over weight and having aurthitus in both of her legs. Because I wanted my wife to be a stay at home mom for our 2 (now grown) daughters she is punished for not having put into SSI, so I am sole support of my family and we both have monthly medications that we have to take and I am in need of the extension that President Obama has said would be taking place. If there is any information out there that will help me on this please email me at LazyJsGifts@AOL.com thank you for your time.
- Hello,
My question is my benefits run out the 2nd week of january so I need to know if this latest bill that is going to be passed would include me I was laid off in Feburary and could not get the 3rd tier extension because mine exhausted the 2nd week of january so I am really thinking that is not fair other people have gotten over 70 weeks and right now I could only get 46 so if anyone knows the answer to this I would really appreciate it!!!
Thank you!!!
UPDATE: We have had an amazing response to this issue! If you would like to write an article to those in Washington as to why YOU think unemployment benefits should be extended please email them to jwojdylo@subprimeblogger.com. If your article is free of profanity and any direct insults we will be more than happy to post it here on Unemployed and Trying so you can send the link to anyone you choose.
