How the hell can you be out of work. You pick up any paper in any city in this country and there are tons of jobs listed every day.
When my wife got laid off from her job, she looked for a new one but couldn't find anything that paid a decent wage. She was making enough money before she got laid off that she could collect the maximum amount of unemployment. The reason people stay unemployed is that they get more from unemployment and they would working 60 hours a week at low paying job. When their unemployment runs out, then they go and get two crappy jobs to make ends meet.
