thanks tantrums they usually say good things happen to people who wait..... hope this happens for the both of us. have a safe and happy new year

thanks. so far its working out but getting to the breaking point soon. hope somthing good happens. they say things happen in 3's. i think its time for something good to happen. thanks again for the response.

She also said that her husband does not make enough to pay for everything, and that her unemployment is running out soon. And you don't exactly have a novel idea, the "low rent" jobs you referenced, such as fast food joints, gas stations, department stores, etc. have now become very competitive as well. High school and college kids can't get these jobs anymore because middle aged people who have been laid off and have families to support have taken them. So it's not that Americans aren't willing to work; it's that it's one heck of a lot harder out there than you're making it out to be.

you right in a way but then again i do go out to find work and there is always alot of candidates for the job. its seems like even if a piece of my hair is misplaced, or my color suit is not right, or i laughed at the wrong time, or i put dots instead of one, or well you get the drift theres always someone one step better, one step ahead. yes at this time i do not have unemployment no longer. the temp agency i worked for totally screwed me. they said i would be employed with them for 3 months. well unfortantely it only lasted a month. i asked them if they had something else and they did not. then they call me for h&r block. i called the number they gave me and the the guy had me do a test assesment. unfortantly i had no idea about tax forms well i failed. he said i should wait and not worry and apply to the receptionist position they have soon. well i told the lady at temp agency they didnt want me for that position. next thing i know the paper from dept of labor came i filled out. and i went to bank on a wednesday when the money was suspose to be there.....it was not. what happened was the temp agency said i denied work. this was untrue. i got letters from the places they said i denied work and they said there was no work for me. even employers are trying to screw people cause they do not want to pay. i am still fighting this. 3 weeks later. nothing in the works and no money coming in. my hubby is supporting me and we have way to many bills. he says not to worry but then he asks if i heard from dept of labor. its so crazy how they make you wait so long and not even sure i will get it again. as far as fast food places i did not go to college to serve mcdonalds or burger king. but thanks for the thoughts. and responses.

This is so true, even Mcdonald's has become competitive! Even cleaning, any of it...the walmart here said they get 500 applications a day! I think we all feel your pain...maybe do what others are doing, start up a cheap shoestring business like cleaning or lawn mowing. Best of luck to you all!

thanks bluepatch for the response. i been looking into home based business but they all want money to even start up? any ideas. lol. thanks again have a safe and happy new year.

thanks for the response sblossom. what other paid sites are there?

hi homeshoppers i did not lose my job because of my hubby. it was due to budget cuts. not sure where you got that. my hubby is still working but i just dont want to have him pay for everything we always helped one another out. i never had this happen and a job lose is a hard thing to cope with especially in this kind of economy. have a happy and safe new year.

yeah i know what you mean. at first i though ok i will be on unemplyment and find a job but there are not alot out there. then reality set in since i use to be in a busy office being home 24/7 really go to me and im going nuts. i need something to do. still looking for work. thanks for the response. have a safe and happy new year.
