Not ALL. But there will be lots of people losing benefits.
What would you do? People are gonna steal to survive.

My company is laying off its employees and they are offering 7 months of severance package. Can I ask my employer to lay me off as well voluntarily so that I could claim the unemployment benefits ?

the guy who lives next door to me lost his job after 20 yrs. few yrs to go til retirement too.

hes not even bothering to look for a job. says hes paid into it for yrs now its his turn to relax.

but his wife is pulling her hair out. she said its making things so tough they could end up losing their house. he reasons, hes "waiting" for the job market to come back -

i told his wife, she better pack him an uber lunch.

Phen,

The job market will not come back ! Why you ask ? Because employment is not supportive of a stong dollar policy. If employment came back the production would create mass inflation. That's right, the American public is being sacrificed so that the dollar can retain it's Petrodollar/Reserve currency status to control the financial markets around the world. This can be proven as employment is the last thing spoken about in Washington. If you think about it, the President should be holding daily meetings about the lack of jobs and employment. What is he doing about it ? He wants to give the banks more money ! and working on his Golf game.

It will only get worse as they print the Dollar into toilet paper.

The American dream has been shanghai-ed by the politicians and the Dollar.

Buckle up kids because this whole system is gonna go deeper into the shitter !

It is not going to cost them any more money to give you unemployment until next year. So make sure you can get unemployment as part of that package. Go in and ask on your own. Dont discuss this with your co-workers, as the company knows when they get their unemployment contribution renumeration next year it will be more. (affects their overhead and bottom line)

Good Luck !

If you have a job or you don't, you should be practicing gardening in your back yards and on your balconies.

Hello America is there anybody over there actually paying attention people dont care there are too busy watching the black box, fakebook etc etc. Dont get me wrong the UK is much the same people just dont get it unless the TV tells them so. What do you think this whole financial shit is all about they want this to happen they dont give 2 shits about yourselfs only their mates with all the money they stole off yourselfs and your children.This is the sad reality of the world we live in today the world is run by people with far too much money who see this planet as theirs and we are just useless eaters.The writings on the wall and has been for over a century now but still we allow these bankers control of our countries.
What makes me pissed off is how much further mankind could have progressed if it wasnt for these bastards.

Congress just passed 750 billion more for the defense bill- to build FEMA camps, arm local police with tazers and overthrow petty mid east despots.
so there's nothing left for the little coocaraches who pay for it all to begin with.

Job growth sucks and with benefits running out, most of the affected people will have no work to find. Hopefully those people can create something that could generate income.

What a recipe for disaster.

Create their own currency and Bank. Could be time dollars, not DEBT money. Then create their own jobs. All the problems of the unemployed are caused by debt money fractional reserve banking scam.

Money is a talisman. Your belief gives money its power. Hence you can create your own money, you don't need to use the Rothschild's money.

Thereis a condition that many people have: it goes something like this: they are afraid of success, thus live out every scene to come to a losing end. Unless they get therapy they will never change. We call them "losers", even though we may be one as well.

One of the saddest “losers” is the bright, promising graduate that goes up on the ridge and crashes his car into a telephone pole. There seems to be one every year; somewhere.

This is an interesting analysis of the situation, one I have not heard of before.

I was under the impression that unemployment is being driven by increase in several things, of course you have the outsourcing to China for cheaper labor, then you have the crushing costs on companies to employ people, like obamacare. Then you have technological front where people are being made unemployed by robotics and nanotech.

Now I knew China had their currency pegged to the dollar where it would always be cheaper than the dollar no matter how cheap the dollar fell. That way they would always be able to produce cheaper than everyone else and fuel their exports.

Can you outline how increased production would cause inflation? (I define inflation expansion of pool of dollars created, not prices). My understanding is they wanted to keep inflation under control because with inflation comes increased interest rates which would cause the federal debt to explode beyond what it already is, and destroy the financial system as it would kick off a derivative meltdown.
