Unemployed and Trying Stories; Life Long Republican Upset
November 4, 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 have been in and out of jobs since I moved here from New York
two years ago. I was a union laborer in local 731. Some part time
work I wasn’t even paid for. There are no unions in Florida and I
believe it is a fatal flaw. Any job offered me here would only pay
less than what I make in unemployment. We need better jobs and better
pay. Until that day comes we need unemployment. I have no power and no
water in my house. I have no decent job oppurtunities on the horizon.
I hope someone is listening.
sincerely,
Unemployed formerly hard working American.
- I got downsized from IBM in 2004. Last time I had employment was in 2007. I was stuck in a home with elder parents, where my father would issue a bunch of profanity, and close to death threats to my mother. It was hell to be in, combine with my battling depression had me near hopeless.. Because of the extended unemployment, I was able to move out, and into transitional housing. Due to the delays, I am at risk of becoming homeless. I need to money to stay out of where I was and keep job hunting. I also need to be able to be in a place to keep a non-profit going I started, because there was NOTHING professional with non-profits in the area that could help my professionally.
I could use help here and I want to get my career going. I am taking a pounding on the student loan front, and don’t have health coverage either.
- I am a republican and have back my party financially for the past 45 years. I lost my job in 2008 and having a hard time finding a new one. My unemployment benefits has ran out two month ago and I’m in jeopardy of losing my home. It brother me that my GOP PARTY is holding up the unemployment extension at a time like this, I really can’t understand why they are using us like a pawn tyring to gain some perts while we are stress out, not knowing how we going to find the next dollar to feed our family. Stuff like this make you think of switching parties. GOP get on the ball before you lose the backing of life long REPUBLICANS.
