Economy just getting worse
First topic message reminder :
No matter what the government may say, the economy is not getting better. I read today, Sears will be closing more stores and possibly be going out of business in 2-3 years. The number of people unemployed just keeps growing each and everyday, I wonder how many millions of people are unemployed now. check out the website (dailyjobcuts.com) everyday it posts layoffs occuring all over the country, also closures of business on a daily basis.
I truly believe that getting a job these days is equivalent to winning the lottery in how brutal it is out there. I feel so discouraged, my husband has been out of permanent work for 2 years, last temp job ended six weeks ago. He has had only temp jobs since January 2012, collecting unemployment in between. It is so discouraging, I wonder if ever he will be hired fulltime again, or at least a temp job that lasts more than 3 months would be nice.
Thank God i'am working otherwise we would be on the streets, but when the unemployment runs out, we will not be able to pay all of our bills. By the Grace the of God!

Re: Economy just getting worse
Been out of work five years and I know we are forgotten but there is news once in a while and I was just asking if there is a more active forum. The only one I can find with daily activity is the fiendz site at forumotion.
http://unemployed-fiendz.forumotion.com/
Wanted to check in with some of the people I used to advocate with and they are over there. That Mr golf has always made me cry and Chit and Carol keep a lot of pornography stuff posted. Lisa is still her old bitchy self and just loves to ban new members! Hope you get some company on this site it is just great.Thanks anyway tho!

The economy is getting better, there is no "work lottery"
I disagree about the economy not getting better. The dollar index is on a gaining streak not seen in years. The QE program his finally tapering, so our self-inflicted currency devaluation can stop. Gold and silver are down but all commodities move inversely with the dollar. The fall in precious metals prices should induce more to invest in them.
The major indexes have slipped in the past few days, but still the investors have seen huge gains this year. The unemployment rate is only in the 6 % range, and new companies are hiring.
Getting a job is not like winning the lottery. You have a skill set that matches the employer’s needs. You and several others compete for the same position. The employer selects the best candidate. There are a few instances where someone was hired through nepotism or other invalid reason, but for the most part an individual is hired and retained based upon his/her experience, education, knowledge and know-how.
One way to fight back is to make yourself seen and heard. Go to local businesses and give them your resume. Explain to business owners your situation, and see if you can get a food-for-work arrangement. Ask local churches for help. Talk to local civic leagues and other organizations and tell them about yourself.
In those periods where your husband is between temp jobs, let him get with the other unemployed in your area. They can discuss ways to improve their situation, brainstorming on ways to get jobs back to their area. They can form small labor squads that canvass neighborhoods soliciting for work. These labor squads can operate work as a food-for–work program. Eventually they will cross the paths of someone that will hire them full time.

I would advise staying away from that vicious site and individuals. Very nasty. Most have been banned from this site a long time ago for their actions and behavior.

Re: Economy just getting worse
It's a rabid clique of individuals. If you don't agree with their views, you'll be harrassed and defamed all over the internet. I still have all the correspondence I've had with them over the years and it's not pretty.Lester wrote:lizalphonso wrote:Been out of work five years and I know we are forgotten but there is news once in a while and I was just asking if there is a more active forum.

To whomever reported an abuse about Lester's post, it is unfounded. As I said, I have all the documentation to back up his statement.
Grow up and knock it off! The reason many of us still sit here with no job and no hope is because the Unemployed cannot get along with each other. We were so divided it made it so easy for them to conquer. Sad stuff like this still exists. Even sadder, they are grown adults.

Please stop flagging this as abusive. If people come here giving their reviews and promoting another site, members here have the right to express their opinions also. It goes both ways!

Re: Economy just getting worse
I have not reported any post but i do know that the ADMIN LESTER altered that post which is not right by any means , if they didnt like the post they should have just deleted it not altered it !
Altering a post that way is IMO why this site has so few people posting on it !

I don't see where Lester altered anything. He quoted the post and gave his opinion, just like I did.

Glad you saw the original post as well. You are correct on both counts the wording was changed and that kind of crap is why no one posts here anymore.

Re: Economy just getting worse
REALLY??? Please explain why youuse two different ID's here and post from 9 different IP addresses. Antics like yours are the reason these forums have died out. Immature, nasty games caused by TROLLS like you have cost the unemployed any hope of being taken seriously. Go back to your "Friendz", we don't need your dual personalities here.lizalphonso wrote:oncemore wrote:I have not reported any post but i do know that the ADMIN LESTER altered that post which is not right by any means , if they didnt like the post they should have just deleted it not altered it !

Hello oncemore. Lester took a turn for the worse and so I've come back. I've checked the logs and can verify for you that Lester did not go into edit mode on these posts.
Thank you... Amy

I only have one name here but I do post from different locations or IP addys. Unemployed for 5 years does not offer the stability adequate housing. Of course if that is an issue or rule that one must post from the same place all the time perhaps it should have been mentioned?
I would love to have the stability of a job, paycheck and stable place to exist...........one can continue to hope but hope is stretched thin these days.
If you are checking IP's then you also know I have posted from the homeless shelter more than once. Shame on you for being a jerk about it. If you are fortunate enough to be in the same housing for five years you should be giving thanks and not kicking the unemployed when they are already down. No wonder there are no people here. Millions of unemployed in this country and no one posting here. Now I know why.
Some of us have real problems and this site is not helpful only hateful. Thanks a lot.

No oncemore, we only have a few admin accounts so I used the one that Lester had. Unfortunately it does not retain the prior posts as his.
DesperateinRI is a totally different account and password.
