A very sensitive thread, but if you don't mind, who here is unemployed or on some form of assistance ?

I am...


unemployed that is....


no assistance though.... just my savings so faar so good

I am on Social Security disability

Just layed off! It sucks!

I have been in the past due to medical issues.

I 've been laid off since December

I'm on my regular unemployment until July and

then I'll start using my Basic TRA Benefits

I am on social sercerity, they sent me to get retrained and the man refused to do it, he said who would hire me.

Kitty! You're back. I think half the members were out looking for you last night! So glad you've "re-appeared."

A fan.

I was just sitting in front of the t.v.

I don't have a job other than taking care of my son.

He has been disabled since birth and receives Social Security benefits monthly.

He will never be able to have a job in his lifetime.

Been self-employed since the age of 26....paid a fortune in social welfare and pension fund stuff, and never taken a cent back....I wouldn't even know how to apply....I will never even recoup a fraction of what I've paid in as a pension....and in fact, under the system that I work in currently, being self-employed, I don't even QUALIFY for unemployment..!!!...how fair is that??....

does this thread make you insensitive or bullshite

Been unemployed since May of 2007. Living with my adult son who pays all the bills. I am receiving food stamps & minimal state assisted health care.

I'm unemployed....not by choice. The last company I worked for downsized and I got the boot. And to make matters worse, I can't seem to get another job anywhere. I don't understand, I have sent my resume out more times than I can count, applied online for jobs that I have loads of experience doing, and all I get are offers to sell insurance or automobiles. My resume is professionally written...I paid dearly for it.. I'm not asking for a ton of money, but still no one calling for an interview. My self esteam is suffering here!!!! I'm getting desperate right now and am seriously considering flipping burgers so I can make enough money to buy milk and bread. Any sugggestions out there?

Since you ask, I would suggest temporary agencies. Many times you will find a permanent position that way.

ahhh dont cry

With some editing we can make that a happy post !!

"Just layed off! It rosucks

Ditto!! Medicaid to pay my medical

I'm have been lucky enuff to have never had to claim for myself. I starting working at 13.. and thankfully have not been ill or laid off etc..

When my daughter had Perthes disease.. she received a certain amount of disability money for her at that time.. which helped with her wheelchairs and mobility etc. But that's it.

Thanks.....I am signed up at a couple of temp agencies and have beeen on a couple of assignments, but so far no offers of permanent job. Maybe I'm too ugly for their liking? Maybe it's my sweet disposition? Who knows.. My guess is that there's not that many companies who want a permanent employee, they would rather get temp workers so they don't have to offer benefits. I need health insurance....
