This isn't about unemployment benefits, but it is about unemployment, recession rates and the economy and the position of the FED.
I have not seen 60 minutes / news for a year so I was interested in this interview. |

I am currently earning minimum wage. Oh, joy. I do work 10 hours a week for an elderly lady who pays me $10.00 an hour - cash. Now, if only she had three friends...

Not a joke. 4 friends is 10 more hours per week which would be 50 hours per week. More is better. I work more than 50 hours per week. And if you expect to get ahead you should plan on working as much as you can. I regularly work 50 to 110 hours in a week.

Besides, you don't know sam's personal situation, who're you to tell her to work 50hrs? She could have a physical condition, or other obligations that would make that difficult. "More is better" does not always apply, especially when it comes to working a job you don't necessarily like.

Especially since I am working on my degree still, and have my own health issues.

A while back an aquaintance mentioned to me that his wife who manages a local motel was looking for a weekend relief desk clerk. I explained my difficulties to her, and she was still willing to give me a chance. The job involves counting up the cash and credit card receipts each night with no cash register, just a drawer where the day's proceeds are kept. Other cash is kept in a cabinet in the living room and in a pouch hidden under the sofa. I kid you not. The accounting system is byzantine to say the least, and its been a struggle to learn it. I really hope my boss continues to have patience with me, since I am very grateful for the work, and the extra bit of money makes a real difference in my life. |

I know, but it so easy.
Every once in awhile something like that comes along that just sounds so incredible, so impossible, it become a joke rather than a challenge.

Heh...yeah, there is room in this world for us less than superhuman beings. We aren't all like Francisco Franco (or whatever his name is) or merc.
