Dude... Wake up.. Anyone who can file for unemployment has EARNED it.
I call B.S. on that....
Technically speaking, I won't argue that, but I'm referring to the guys who have kept their jobs only because they work for a company that belongs to a union. The guys who could really care less about being a productive, efficient worker and are just looking for a paycheck. Fawk them.
Unemployment IS NOT WELFARE.
I never said it was. When the majority of the people around my area sit and brag about being on unemployment, and still picking up under the table cash paying jobs so they can still get their unemployment, there is no reason that these people who cut the back out of the system should still be getting a cut of it.
Where do you work by the way? Maybe they are hiring? Instead of sitting on the computer bitching about people's unemployment, maybe read up on where the funding actually comes from..if you have time that is.
Alright first off all, this is the first time I've even logged on, let alone posted in months, so you can see that I really don't "sit on the computer bitching" as much as some people on here, so you can knock that sh!t off right now.
As far as knowing how the system works, I have a general idea. I don't have time to read the pages and pages of B.S. on the technicalities of it, but basically, it comes down to this. Everyone who legally works in the U.S. and pays taxes, gets their tax money thrown in a big pot. If you become involuntarily unemployed, then you are entitled to unemployment benefits, so long as you were working there 6 months before, and have lived in the state you are pulling unemployment from for over a year. I think you can get them initially for 6 months, then apply for like another 3 months after that.
This is given so that people can survive and is usually about 1/3 of their pay before they became unemployed. The time given is so that people can go out and find another job in the meantime,
not get a cashpaying under the table job and fawk the system!
I work for Detroit EMS as an EMT. They ARE hiring.
Here's a link. Anyone and everyone who wants, can apply.
I also run my own small carpentry business. Right now I'm doing a pole barn and this spring I have a couple decks lined up and possibly an addition. If anyone wants to be a laborer, let me know. I'll have you lifting materials, moving things, lifting, pushing, pulling, carrying, helping with measurements and possibly cutting materials, along with a lot of other general tasks. I start out pay at $8/hour for no experience with no high school education needed. Pay increases will be given according to your performance increases and workplace attendance. Guaranteed 16 hours a week. It's not great pay, but it's a job. Which is more than I can say I see a lot of people having these days. The funny thing is, I have a lot of people running their mouths saying they will work for me and relocate and whatnot, but really, it's one of those actions speak louder than words sort of deals, and I really havn't see a lot of action out of a lot of these people.
And I'm a volunteer firefighter/EMT-Basic for Clyde Township Fire Department. They are also taking apps. If anyone wants the number for the Clyde Township Fire Department, let me know. They give you $15 per run.
There ya go. Three places right off the top of my head.
