The unemployment issues continue to amaze me. It seems that jobless claims are not really reported as urgently as I would expect. This week has claims back or 400,000 which is now the 26th week in a row with claims over 395,000!
Even worse, 1.6 million people have now dropped from extended benefits (99 weeks) in one year - these are people who likely have little hope of finding a competitive job having been out of the work force for 2 years.
Continue your education and provide value to your fellow citizens. Look for positions (even on the side) where you are the one making your employment decisions or become indispensable to your organization (which may never be 100% possible).
Look up and out, not down and back. Push forward.
