»Because our economy can’t handle it. People need to help themselves." I am the OP of an earlier post about the end of the federal boost to the unemployment benefits, and just came back and saw this last reply. This really makes my blood boil. You think DH and I wouldn't LOVE to "help ourselves" and get back to work???? DH has been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years (fine dining, no chance of outdoor seating where he was) and IS applying to other types of jobs to no avail. My industry is also hard-hit and I'd be willing to take any job I could if I could get an interview! These are not normal times where people just need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps and get a job for god's sake. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

pp - by the way, I know I'm lucky because dh has his job and does well (although he's not a good person) but I've been unemployed for almost 2 yrs, have been applying left and right, to anything I can find - and not even an interview in the past 4 months - so I understand that even applying to other industries does not help, its very frustrating - everything is paused. Hang in there please. I just hope to get a job so I can start again on my own. [ Reply | More
