Unemployed since 08

God bless you bro, keep the faith and I hope you find work to provide for your family soon.

Thank You! The fight isn't over. His part He will do, Our part he will not!

OP, start your own internet forum and charge people for it. Then when their paid membership expires you can bane them until they pay up again!

OP is waiting for the manager job like eddie has been in National Lampoons Christmas Vacation..

pfff

Get job. Fucking loser. If you cant find law enforcement work, get your ass to McDonalds and stop being a drain on our economy and your family.

Not looking for Law Enforcement work there sprite. I am out for the stated reason that being the corruption, kinda like your comments from a corrupted mind. Christian does not mean doormat, be very careful, those you mock, they might help you in your time of need!

At 7.25 an hour you would of made over 14K last year. Enough to cover most, if not all, of your mortgage.

You are a drain to our society. There are jobs. I moved to a new town and had 3 job offers within 30 days.


Face it, you purposefully did not look or try to get a job at...

McDonalds, Pizza Hut, Call center work, Janitor, etc. You would of been hired by now. You have no one to blame but yourself.

get a job driving a truck you'll make between 36-40000k a year which is chicken feed but it pays the mortgage, food. call central refrigerated and talk to a recruiter they are always looking for drivers and they will train you, get you your CDL and you pay back the cost of tuition at 25 bucks a week. its a lonely job but you see a lot of the country

I think the good ones are being kicked to the curb and the "bad" ones are being given the royal treatment. I've been out of work on and off in crappy jobs and treated horribly even though I'm a great worker and follow rules and do the right things since the first election between Bush and Obama. I am a patriot and worked hard to try and convince everyone to vote for the republicans because I feel that Obama is the antichrist. I didn't tell people he is the antichrist but its what I think. I'm a Christian and a good person just like you and I don't understand how the last 3 jobs I've had I got attacked and treated badly at where I was a WAY better employee than the other people who treated me badly. I work well with others and I just don't get it. I pray for you that you find the job you need. Its truly frightening being out of work. I've never had so much trouble in my life with it. Its all happened under Obama. Hang in there.

I think this is structural. The traditional means of securing a future for yourself and family are gone, unless you are in the top 1% (not a 99%er just noting a reality). College degrees are not getting the jobs people anticipated (well maybe expected) and the majority of jobs are now part time minimum wage jobs, most of which are going to the age group 55 and older.

That group, the baby boomers, was like a swarm of locusts that descended on the land consuming everything in sight. They did it through debt, we ignored the offshoring of our industry for over 40 years and made up the difference in debt (promises). The remaining public servants have increased their own salaries almost double in the past ten years, double!

Basically, we can't afford all these promises, expectations and delusions our economy projected for the past 40 years since the debt or economic toxic waste is finally taking its toll on the main thing needed to keep it all going, growth. All the so called growth you see reported is in reality debt. Debt that will never be paid off.

I'm not trying to discourage you OP but sometimes we have to face reality. My (former) career was based on public spending (infrastructure) and I realize now that our government doesn't have the money to rebuild what needs to be rebuilt, and the little and dwindling credit potential they have is being directed into the financial sector (banks) to keep a dying status quo siphoning off the little remaining wealth of our nation.

Again, I don't want to depress you but I also think we need to face reality and from that perhaps we can see a course of action through the coming years.

What have known for the past 2-3 generations is coming to an end.

Wow, I guess your have figured it all out. Thank you for your Superior minded analytic point. I should have know better than to post story, perhaps moving had been an option, perhaps pizza hut, burger king, McDonalds, etc. are where i should be working? Perhaps those with college degrees have work there because there are No JOBS that they earned their degree in.

I ask for nothing, I am not on WELFARE, NEVER have been, no food stamps, ebt or otherwise. Countless applications submitted. Sorry to hear you say the things you have, i will get over it trust me. Only a real loser comments as you have!

Last post was intended for user# 1506438 Every week my wife and i do a yard sale, she has sold her motorcycle, mine is next, then my truck. Easy oh so easy to find work on foot right, right if that is what it takes. I am 53 and she is 55 and together we will overcome our situation. Please don't post rude comments, its is what is wrong with the world today, this is not our doing!

I guess you are right OP, that I am a loser, since I have lost everything I had. Is that because I am inherently a loser or because circumstances beyond my control took what I had? Honestly I don't know for sure, but I do know that those who succeeded where either very fortunate or they had to do things on their job that their conscience needed to repress or ignore.

I was just addressing your concerns on the corruption you saw in your own field, I saw the same in my field but my conscience always prevented me from going with the crowd of "successful" people, thus I was sort of an outsider. The people that do succeed are lucky enough to get that stable job, but must go along with the herd who's own morality decays day by day.

If you are ignoring the macro trends that I first posted, and want to think that the system isn't broken beyond repair that is your own prerogative, however I challenge you to have a look at the level of debt and increasing dependence on a state system that can never hope of keeping all its promises.

The debt must be paid, there is no money to pay it so the only other payment is bankruptcy. That is how the system is designed and that is how it will function. We are morally and monetarily broke.

so you graduated when you were 40 years old?

looser!

7-11, Wal-Mart, Mcdonalds, 1,000's of other companies, have hired 100,000's of Employees since 2008

Was a nice post and blessings to you.

Unfortunately there will be millions of people who attempt to retrain themselves in another career mid-life. Just look at the exponential rise in college debt/loans over the past 4-5 years.

The modern economy is very, very specialized. And to make it worse, the specialization that has evolved often undermines its own specialization, eventually putting itself out of work. For instance, technological innovation destroys 90% of the jobs in the industries it revolutionizes. Even those cheap slave labor camps in China manufacturing your I-Pods will soon be outfitted with complete robotics so even 3rd world slave labor is coming to an end.

When the economy becomes so specialized and that specialization eventually eliminates the specialized jobs via technological innovation all those millions of displaced workers need to be retrained. But retrained for what? Service jobs? Your point is ludicrous. Our economy is based on 70% consumption. You think that will hold up for long, that is transitioning someone(s) who held middle class jobs and earnings with associated lifestyle, to essentially part-time minimum wage earnings potential?

You are blinded by the current Keynesian thought that eventually massive debt spending will pull us out of our slump and set us on course to spend all we gained again.

Delusional.

This

Just go on welfare like every other person since Obama was elected.

:this^^^:

Yeah, because 7-11, Wal Mart, and McDonalds, those people working there aren't on ANY government assistance at all.

No sir.

eh! thats is what i say... i criticise his attempt to find a new career with 40 years old. and it is the keynesian monetary system we have now! so i dont like that too. u digg

We are living in times of radical change.

It's not going to end well for us.

And, increasingly sales at 7-11, Wal Mart and McDonalds relies on EBT subsistence, meaning the service industry itself is relying on government assistance/debt/smoke and mirrors.

Arm chair bandits must be very wealthy people that plan to never lose their jobs or health. Life can change at any moment for many reasons. Count your blessings, but don't kick a man when he is down. Ruthless people.

Good luck OP, it's a tough road. Been there and back a few times. Somehow I always end up back on my feet. I know age isn't on your side, but something will open. You can only look up at this point.

Personally, I'm not taking any chances again. I'm going to purchase a small RV cash....just in case the unimaginable should happen again.

Good vibes sent your way!

I did nor have ever supported Obama. No politician can fix the problems this nation faces, those that continue to support the left or right are asleep and in denial.

And yes i graduated the academy in my forty's, got a problem with that? I have always had a job since i was 15 years of age. We change jobs through the course of our lives looking for fulfillment, something wrong with this? You can laugh and tee hee all the more pal, it is telling of your character!

I made $10.00 and hour working as a part time Police Officer while working full time in a bank. Before this i was a full time Sheriffs Deputy. I woke up sometime ago to the banksters and politicians. Bank of America and Wells Fargo can launder 327 billion dollars in drug money, and no one goes to jail, MF global can steal money from customers and that ok. Maybe that is acceptable to society today, that ole cant see it from my house. I want to work and will. This is a forum not a courtroom!

You are facing the truth, OP. It appears that police forces don't want real men who want to be peace officers. They increasingly want thugs on steroids who like to control the public. You can thank our federal government for creating militarized police.

One big contributor to the downfall of this nation is the fact that so many people will abuse, harm and even kill others for a paycheck. I hope things go well for you...we need more people with principals.

I invite u to submit to Allah the one and only G-d, our creator and creator of Adam, Jesus, Mohamed peace be upon all of them. if Allah created us from two parents and Jesus from one parent, Allah created Adam without any parent. Allah can create any thing from nothing. salaam.
