YOU are the reason attendance is down at nascar races this year!

I guess you think its ok for someone to collect unemployment and not look for a job while collecting unemployment. Maybe you dont want to hear the truth. I am not implying that everyone is doing it.

Did people not read the part of the article about the current unemployment rate being only 4.2%?

Hope we learn something from this successful country and match them in foreign aid, immigration policies and UN contibutions. Heck let's go wild and have the UN based in Denmark. Give NYC a break and more property tax collections. We suck and need a break!

I do want to hear the truth......just don't think it's coming from you.

the truth is that if you're unemployed, you're going to jump thru alotta hoops to get a new(better) job than before. It's a bitch having interview after interview, only to be told you are over-qualified, or being put on the "hire" list, but they don't have the money to put you to work. After awhile you just
pick up the check they give you at UE office and try to get by till your next check.

Tim, luckily I have only had to interview once for a job , have never collected unemployment checks and I'm definitely not over-qualified for anything. After 31 years getting paid by the same company, I have just taken it upon myself to get a part-time job of giving certain racing fans on here a hard time and I think my part-time job sometimes pays off better than my real job.

This out-sourcing and H1b thing isn't working out so well.. You need to employ your own citizens as they are the ones pumping it back into the economy. Of course no on will admit it and we won't see it in the press because the media companies do it too. Just cutting costs so the next quarter looks good and they can cash out their millions in stock options.. We are circling the drain.
