You guys seem like you believe that
1) welfare pays tons of cash and forevermore
nope... Ohio its 3 yrs and you are off, job or no job
ALL states have a cut off now and have for sev yrs
2) Disabilty pays tons of cash - nope
its based on your previous work history salary
many dads go andabout kill themselves to get some extra cash for a kids bday or xmas.

3) and other silly inane things

Yeah there are some lazy ppl out there but not nearly as many as some of you seem to think.

Are there tons of jobs that pay enough to support a family?

you mean my babies momma? or my babies mommas momma?

Things change.

Yeah, living in the projects sure encourages laziness.

when i found out i could make money online, i quit my jobs.

technically been unemployed for over 4 years or so now.

hehehe

living easy, living free.

Funny, no mention of individuals who are considered "over-qualified" for some jobs out there, yet under-qualified for others.

I know a number of un/underemployed friends that watched their jobs go overseas to India, now I see the trend of onshoring, offshore work just to keep competitive with Indian programmers.

Actually I touched on it in a couple of my posts...they are a bit long so you probably didn't read them.

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.

Alot of those jobs you see in the paper are general employment or entry level type jobs and if you have alot of education and work expierence, they'll turn you down for not being able to afford your salary. I know a guy that got turned down for pizza maker at dominos due to his previous career as a hahahahahar.

50 unemployed bums :(

You got that right.


:thumbsup

agreed:thumbsup .Or a lots of people without experiences are waiting for really good spots but should realized that everyhahahaha is starting from the beginning.:winkwink:

I had a friend that answered a ad in the paper for a graphic designer. There were 500 resumes turned in and interviewed 8 people out of that 500. The thing is (probably like your GF). She would rather collect unemployment then work at a fast food resturant. If with out unemployment, she probably won't work at a fastfood resturant. She has a car payment coming up and no way to pay.

It comes down to what other people have said. People would rather be unemloyed and lazy then work at some low paying job.

They are just LAZY . This is a very bad habbit . I was getting lazy for a while but I don't wanna turn out like any idiots that only drink beer and watch TV for the rest of their lifes .

It's not being lazy! A lot of people WANT to work but if they can pay their bills with their unemployment check because they're bigger than the checks you get from McDonalds, then they're going to stay on unemployment until they find a job that pays better than unemployment or until their unemployment runs out (6 months, I believe).
