Damn!! unemployment has ended for many the day after Christmas

[ahomeplateslugger]

just stupid... u lose a $20/hr job which was probably replaced by someone else just for a extra 300/600 dollars for a short period of time time

absolutely stupid. every time i see them now we bump heads over this. $20/hr might not seem like much in the bay area but they were able to provide for themselves and now they're worried about having no income because they wanted to take time off to collect money while not working smh.

I guess looking back, I'm kind of glad my job was considered essential, even though I dont think it is lol.

But I probably wouldnt have turned down going back to a $20+/hr job regardless. Say those jobs get filled by others and you are left with $12-$15/hr jobs, all because you depended on the government.

people just don't think long term. they always want the fast money.

I was at work and would think "yeah, and extra 2400 a month on top of my normal unemployment would be nice", then I thought about the extra 8 hrs a day I would have by not being at work and I would be buying a bunch of nonsense lol.

And those weeks go by FAST, then the pressure is on to find work as those benefits run thin

People around my way have started having their houses broken into....

I get calls and job offers everyday from a resume I uploaded to some job sites over 16 yrs ago. I keep telling them to stop I've been employed at my job over 13yrs. Point is there are jobs and good paying ones that are available.

Everyone I know that lost they job bounced back quick and found something else. Plenty of industries are still thriving. If you want a job you can find one, granted it may not be what you want. If you are not disabled you have to get off yo ass and get it.

I swear we need an IQ test to post on here. I work as an event manager and my side hustle is a hip hop concert manager/promoter. I was supposed to have a show the day my state shut down. Both of my industries are dead. Luckily my folk own a business and we’re able to hire me.

The only “quick and easy” jobs you can get are in the food industry. And they’ve been shut down every other week.

I have a college education. No grocery store is going to hire me, let alone in a pandemic. I swear y’all don’t go outside there’s no way.

Number of unemployed persons per job opening, seasonally adjusted

This doesn’t even take into account how many of these jobs would be “underemployment” for a lot of people.

I’m sure brehs are super excited to have been making 60-70k now applying to go bag groceries.

underemployment is the real problem of the modern economy but they won’t speak on it .

TLRepublicans in this thread boy... on a supposedly black forum too.. It's not just the politicians in this country who are on their high horses and out of touch. Yall think because you make 50k and can work from home, you can look down on others and make sweeping generalizations about people being unskilled, lazy or cheating the system. Meanwhile the true elites are looking at yall fakers like absolute filth and don't give a shyt about yall either.

You idiots are a part of the 99% like everyone else but want to pretend you are elite and speak down on your people

There's 2 sides to every story. Yes, there's a lot of lazy people out there who don't want to work. Not sure where you live where everybody are these upstanding citizens but I know a lot of bums who just wanna sit on their ass

That's really all it boils down to. Some people get in these threads and look down on people getting that ridiculous amount of unemployed money, and now that they see that the government's childish selfishness has screwed over millions of people, presumably for months, their first response is to say: "Too bad, you fukks, get a job. If you had been more responsible, none of this would have happened. "

I don't know where that contempt comes from. As quiet as it's kept, there are going to be people on here celebrating when the Senate refuses to pass the $2000 check, Trump's pettiness lets the original bill die and millions end up starving and homeless.

Hustle Coli.... get that resume together and send it out there. Don’t sell yourself short. People are hiring.
