The job market is really pissing me off.

[joshh]

Jobs up here are screwed. I need something that's just part time and can't find shit.

I keep seeing how things are getting better....definition of getting better= losing less jobs. Seriously.

My wife just got a pay cut as well. Shit ain't looking good. And this Government is fucking it up more imo. I'm really getting pissed.

Place your rants here ....

[dashboardmonkey]

it's no better here either

My Dad's a blue collar. I'm a blue collar. He's got 30 + years in Construction and myself around 7. I haven't seen the field suffer this much, even when it was skinny in the past. The company my Dad works for (I've been "laid-off") has been in the commerical business for around 35 years and they are "resorting" to doing residential odd jobs. I started a business and have barely made mortgage and food. Same goes for the parents and many, many other family members. If it wheren't for family we'd have gone under awhile back. We're taking jobs at cost, nearly no profit, just to stay competitive. Our clients are squeezing pennies to get what NEEDS to be done, done. If we didn't stick to a tight budget, take odd jobs whenever and whatever we can, sell off stuff... I don't know. It's scary stuff. Hell, we switched to clothe diapers for our kiddo.

But, you know, I'm just fear mongering.

And yet Government jobs are in abundance right now.

*EDIT*

I just opened our new tax rates for our company that's already only making next to nothing... re-seller fee's, UE taxes increased (again) and overall tax increases. Funny, I swear I was told we'd see small businesses flourish under this administration.

I had to file for an extension to keep food on the table awhile back. Should be able to do so for yourself.

Because of past injuries I've considered getting on disability for being legally blind in one eye. Just hate that they'd take away my license.

[richardkeith97]

its been a year and 3 mnths. already got my extension. i'm just not sure if i'm "able and available for work" with my finger like this. they might say i need to apply for something else.

What degree are you graduating with?

What degree are you graduating with?

Bachelors of Science in Agriculture Technology Management and Education. Was going to be an Agriculture Teacher, but I killed that idea after doing 9/10ths of the program and felt some relief when Arizona basically announced they are going to lay of thousands of teachers if 1 cent tax isnt passed.

Only thing going for me is I have a decent resume and work experience for a college student and I'm willing to move anywhere since Arizona is dead f'n end for jobs.

Here's my rant: Unemployment benefits suck, are a waste of money, and stifle a persons willingness to find work. To you people who actually had to file for extensions, are you telling me that in during all that time you were looking for work as hard as you should have? No I doubt it. Times are tougher but not impossible. You can't just search craigslist for a jo in your local city. If you really wanted a job you'd have one. Go out and find one and look in other states if you have to. Jeez

I know it sucks but mcdonalds, 7-elven, etc are ALWAYS hiring

the problem is that i cant take a job where i make less then my unemployment. now i'll take anything. i was offered a job at wal-mart but i was going to make $150 less a week. i wouldnt have been able to live.

[chadthestampede]

Census job maybe? Pretty much the only jorbs here in buffalo are cooking.

no, you wouldn't be able to live with luxuries right now. You can live in a small apartment and afford gas just by working at walmart. I've done so in college. I averaged about 45hrs a week in the evenings at 9.25hr. That was 1600 a month after taxes. I payed rent and a car note and still had 700 to fuck off.

you can do it, you just don't want to bad enough.

[richardkeith97]

wal mart could only give me 30 hours a week at $10.50 an hour. that wasnt their highest paying position. it was the night shift working in back. i couldnt afford a one bdrm by myself with that.
