2 yrs unemployment and very little work in my 3 yrs work history

LMAO, I'll look for it.

 

you can still work on unemployment. Just depends on what you made for that week. unenployment will pay less.

you have no clue about what your talking about. not everyone is able to work two jobs.,Or do alot of the jobs offered. For many reasons. Not all are lazy not all can move. It took 8mo`s for me to get into trucking when I started. I will not go into why it is none of your business., Lets just say threr were lots of walls and doors to knock down. People to.

As a business owner I paid lots of taxes.,And you bet I took my unemployment. I paid in alot more then I got. It was my money not yours. I paid my debt.

I sure hope you never have to deal with what some people have had to deal with in life. IT`S NOT ALL BLACK AND WHITE. If you know what I mean.

 

wtf,please explain where i have whined....besides that who would complain about getting 3k a month?

so what you are saying is because your sister paid her monthly ins now 2 others will make a free living....and you want to talk about people being freeloaders?

btw you don't know anything about me,but i can tell you this,i have put in more hard working hours by the time i was 20 than you will your whole life....so b4 you go spouting off about me as if ima whining freeloader you might want to know what your talking about or who your talking to first.

you have no clue bud,thats a fact.

all i asked was a simple ?? and as par for the course you twist it around and just call people whiners...if i am a whiner for asking a ####### ?? then you would really #### yourself with something in real life...

you also kindda answered my ? basicly it's ok for your sister,mom,and son to take money from what ever source.but #### anyone else that needs help or takes money from the same system...+ if it is anyone else besides your family,they are just lazy whiners....i see.

 

most of those if not all of those non trade jobs you speak of only offer part time work these days.most are 10 to 20 hours per week....can you feed your family on 10 hours per week at 7$ and hour?

also since your braindead and think everything someone post is about themselfs.i'll make it real CLEAR for you,i'll save you the trouble so you don't watse your time typing your a whiner again....

this ? is not talking about me or have anything to do with me.this ? is based on what i have seen in our country over the last few years.i look at ads all the time just looking around the net.i know people that worked 1 trade there whole life only to be laid off.they are not lazy people as you would claim...everyone is diffrent.i myself can do anything and have many times.im a rare person.i can do a job without ever having any exp in that field.i learn very quickly.it's how i was raised to adapt.but im not going to sit here and judge everyone else because they can't do as i do.most people have been trained from birth to live a certain way.

heck you even see it on here sometimes...when someone posts that they have had more than 1 job people start"whining" about how unstable they are and such....i follow the money plain and simple if 1 industry goes down i go to the next.call that unstable i could care less.when i was'nt in the truck i was building houses or remodeling them.if that was dead i would tile,plumb,run electric.again im diffrent than most.most people like to stick to 1 field.i know a guy that has done nothing but janitorial work.he grew up with out a dad.he was a wild kid.but he truned his life around and did what he could...he has been working for the same guy for years.now work is real slow and he can't even pay his bills...is he a lazy bum mooch too?he does'nt know how to do anything else.and people like him don't have the option to go to school or retrain or have someone hand him 3k a month....get a clue.

Hee hee !!!

 

I sympathize, I've been out of work for nearly 10 months now. The construction industry will take years to recover from this downturn before we see the kind of opportunities for workers that existed just a couple of years ago. Have you tried WIA (Workforce Investment Act)? It's a program usually based out of your state unemployment center and will pay most or all of the costs of your training if you are eligible. I'm waiting for final approval myself and expect to start CDL school shortly. Fair warning though, it takes a couple of months to finish their "process" and get final approval.

 

It's a job, which these days is enough. I don't expect to get rich driving a truck, I'd just like to make a living. Besides, I used to drive a much smaller truck making deliveries for a few years awhile back so while despite the obvious differences I didn't mind the driving. I could take all the classes I like, if I had the money to do so, but that's not going to change the fact that the construction industry isn't what it used to be job-wise anymore. They need truckers and I need a job. Sounds like a perfect match.

 

Indeed. I've been on several interviews and every job opening has been swamped with applicants. In construction it is an employer's market right now and they can demand whatever they wish from potential employees, ignoring experience and good references for a pretty postgraduate or even in one case doctoral degree. That's the way it is which is why after trying to get another job in the field I've worked in for almost 2 decades I'm switching to something else. I've been working since I was 11 delivering newspapers and these past 10 months have been the longest and most maddening time ever. I can't friggin' wait to go back to work.
