1) Nope
2) I'm happy with what I make and what I do.
3) me, lazy? Nope, I work hard. I could double what I make, but I don't want to put that more time into it or relocate.

If I lost this job I'd find another. If I wanted more, I'd go get it. Anyone can, as long as you're not one of those crybabies that blame their lot in life on everyone but themselves. The short answer is quit crying and bitching.

Do I think people suddenly got lazy? No, not all. But do I think everyone drawing a government check is trying to better themselves? No! My wife works at a very large church in town. They advertise for a custodian and I think the pay was around 950 an hour. Four people schedulied an interview. That's all, despite a high unemployment rate. Only one person showed up and he got the job. The last guy who worked there was about the same situation, he was the only one to show up at the interview. Now you might say $9.50 an hour is a joke, you can make that much on unemployment. But it's amazing the people you meet when you go to work and try to better yourself. That particular custodian got his truck stolen. The congregation of the church found out about it and raised $5000 and bought him a new truck. He then went on later to take a better paying job that required a truck and he's doing much better now than if he'd just stayed home on unemployment.

I guess the real difference is I just don't whine and complain about how much other people make. It seems like almost everybody else on this forum, that's all they do, complain complain complain that "the other guy makes more money than he does. It's just not fair!" I get sick of hearing it.

Reply #26 - 01/27/14 at 08:01:26 Ive heard of hundreds & hundreds lined up for as few as 20 jobs,, maybe that job just wasnt well advertised.. Youve got one instance, Ive seen reports of many.

Reply #27 - 01/27/14 at 09:30:51 I told you guys about my girlfriend and her mother going to the DoL. Straight from the worker bee there he reported that the statistics in Connecticut are much higher than reported. He claimed where they are reporting 19.2% it's more like 25%. 1/4 of the people here are unemployed. --Steve

Reply #28 - 01/27/14 at 09:34:58 Oh, I agree the percentage is probably much higher than what's published. But then why do so few people show up for a job? I've seen those lines on television also. I wonder if this is a case where those jobs are advertised through some government agency and not through the want ads, classified, or on monster.com.

http://www.shadowstats.com/alternate_data/unemployment-charts

Why did so few show up for the one job you know about? How was it advertised? Maybe people expected a huge line for one lousy job & theyd been down that road before.. Just because only a few applied doesnt mean there arent a huge number unemployed,
Its an Open Secret that once peoples benefits are exhausted, theyre no longer considered unemployed,, so, its only obvious that there are many not included in the official statistics. WHY we allow our goobs to obviously lie to us is amazing to me,, & how many dont even KNOW those stats are completely useless? We PAY them to gather the numbers,, someone is making a good living gathering data & compiling an "Unemployment today" number,, & its only propaganda.. & we pay for it,, its pathetic,, OHH I do so LOOOVE my country,,
