Hi
I am a Reuters reporter working on a story about the chances of reauthorization for federal unemployment assistance for next year. To make the story come alive, I would really like to speak with some of your members, especially those who have been unemployed long-term and who have good job credentials. Please call me on my cell at 301 767 6213 or at work at 646 223 7882. Thank you so much.

The Administrators of UF2 received an email from a reporter from Reuters a short while ago regarding our members and their struggles with long-term unemployment, and what you think of any possible future unemployment extensions.

All of our members have "good credentials", IMO - you have all worked most of your life, and because we have a solid work history, good references and were successful, we are having difficulty even finding a McJob!

Please contact this reporter and share your story, your thoughts, and what you think the future will be like for you in this economy.

They chose Unemployed Friends2 for a reason, and that reason is YOU! Please contact them!
