A big and I think overlooked potential solution to the unemployment problem in America is too many people see working for someone else as their path to success when our economy today desperately needs more business owners. More efforts need to be taken to encourage Americans to start small businesses and offer solid business training and mentoring.
I tried to start a chain of pool halls called "Shart Attack" and the SBA wouldn't help me, man.
Key words: "solid business training." This would include understanding market research strategies so that an epretepure understand how to compile data that would tell him if there's a market for his product or service and how much the public is willing to pay for it if there is a market.
There is always a market for a new pool hall, man — always.
Then the data will show that and we just added another employer to the economy with jobs that cannot be shipped to the third world.

The economy is going great from what I heard. So it's time to make temporary benefits, temporary again.
I'd say when the unemployment runs out like this, we're soon going to see an increase in the employment numbers.
The only person I know who uses unemployment as it's supposed to be used is a guy in construction. Everyone else I know who uses it? Take it for a paid vacation.

Seriously? How many people do you know collecting right now? Do you think that you can make an accurate assessment based upon that?
You must know that plenty of people are out of work of no fault of their own but because of the poor economic conditions and that there are not many jobs available. Checked out your local help wanted ads lately?
Are you slept today, or spent all night at the forum?:shock:

Are you implying that seasonal workers should be taxpayer subsidized on a permanent basis? Teachers are paid for 9 to 10 months of work but do get unemployment during their seasonal break. Construction workers' like golf course maintenance workers, teachers and other seasonal workers know that their are slack times (winter). It should not be up to the taxpayers to pay someone not to work on a regular basis.
Just imagine your third day unshaven face.How does this relate to the topic and how is it any of your business?
Yeah, you're probably right. Pretty jaded outlook. But that is how people evaluate these programs, like it or not.
I know one woman who, at 63, lost her job, and began collecting partial SS and unemployment (for the maximum). She never looked for work. When her benefits ran out, she began collecting her full SS. Very well thought out and not what the system was designed for.
Two other people signed up as soon as they lost their jobs and started their own businesses. Used unemployment as their safety net while they started up their companies. Again, not what it was designed for. They never looked for jobs. When one's unemployment ran out, he had built himself a successful business. (The money was taken in in his wife's name while he was receiving it.) The other got a "real job" immediately after his benefits ran out. While both of these people were collecting, they were not looking for jobs.
I know two or three other people who got jobs in cash businesses and continued collecting their benefits until they ran out. Then went 'on the books'.
I know damned well the system is mightily abused. And I also know damned well that it's sorely needed. *shrug*
