Long-Term Unemployment at Highest Recorded Rate

[...] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Jason Steed, WashIndependent. WashIndependent said: Long-Term Unemployment at Highest Recorded Rate – http://bit.ly/bMacv4 [...]

[...] Long-Term Unemployment at Highest Recorded Rate “This morning, another round of jobless benefits expired, with Congress away and hope of the approval of a new tier diminishing. And Sara Murray of The Wall Street Journal highlights one of the worst facets of the unemployment crisis: Nearly half of the unemployed — 45.9 percent, or 7 million people — have been out of work for more than six months, the highest proportion since the Labor Department started tracking the statistic in 1948.” [...]

Can you spell E-X-P-A-T?

I've been unemployed since January, 2008, and have sent out well over 3,000 resumes — all over the world! To date: I've gone on less than 15 interviews and have not had one job offer—yet, I have a BA degree, have published several papers, have over 10 years of specialized experience in my field and another 10 years of management and technology experience. For over a decade, I've made over $75,000 a year as a technical instructor… Now, I can't even land a job at Starbucks or Subway. NO ONE IS HIRING! And if they are, they are not hiring those of us who will obviously leave once something better comes along. We can only “dumb-down” our resumes so much…

This is my generations GREAT DEPRESSION. Make no mistake, the bitterness that is in our mouths will be felt come ELECTION DAY when EVERY INCUMBENT gets voted out of office. At this point – all of you are to blame either for voting against it; not being effective leaders and making it happen; or for simply being too damn worried about keeping your job than doing your job!

My plan? Take a job offer in another country and live the life of an Expat until (and if) this country recovers!

The debate over immigration makes me laugh! Unless that is, you are talking about a debate taking place in Australia, Italy, hell, even Costa Rica.

Thirty three States qualified for the Federal enacted tier four unemployment extensions. The criteria by which a State triggered, and as such became eligible for the fourth tier, came as a result of a State's Unemployment Rate remaining at 8.5% for three consecutive months.

By enacting this important legislation, Washington set a precedent that it considered an 8.5% unemployment rate for an extended period of time to be unacceptably high, and as such warranted providing Americans with a much needed financial lifeline.

Given the aforementioned facts, would this not mean that with a current National Unemployment Rate of 9.9%, which was preceded by three consecutive months at 9.7%, would necessitate the creation of a tier five extension of unemployment insurance?

Josh Bivens of the Economic Policy Institute was quoted as saying that, “the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects a yearlong average of 9.5% percent (unemployment) in 2011”, and Goldman Sachs predicts higher unemployment in 2011 than in 2010.

Congress should take a swift and active role in creating an extension of unemployment insurance beyond the current 99 week limit through the end of 2010. . In this election year American's can and will continue to affect change at the polls.

I am long term unemployed. College educated and 49 years old. Have exhausted all extensions and have sent out thousands (yes, thousands), of resumes. Yet congress ignores us. I am a hard working middle class American. It is all slowly going away. Next will be my home!! We need help congress, before the middle class end up living in tents!!

I cannot wait to vote these guys out. I love how they prioritize their stupid health care bill and BP oil spill over their own people. Dems, get ready for a vacation were voting you guys out in November! Obama, get your retirement ready, you will be a one term president (unless you somehow manage to get illegal votes from your immigration agenda).

Not only does the senate need to act on extending unemployment but we need more stimulas money to boost employment. I've been hearing some great job search advice on http://www.jobtalkamerica.com, the interviews are not only interesting but fun to listen to

You are so right. These politicians are living in castles in the air.
They have no idea how hard it is out here. I too am out since 2008 and sent out thousands of resumes. If you do get an answer from a job it is usually a scam. Bad enough we are down and out we have to have creeps preying on our venerability. We need tier V. I have been without any unemployment since the end of March. What are we to do becomeawelfare State?

Did you know Iraq just cut their defense budget by 50% and yet our Congress just approved an increase in our defense spending for Iraq this past week? We can't afford to support this war any longer. Congress seems to care about foreign aid more than those that live in the USA. It is time we stop trying to save the world and look within our own borders. As an American I am ashamed New Orleans is still in the state they are in. I am ashamed of the number of homeless and hungry living here. Congress it is time to bring the jobs back and help our own for a change. Dems you promised change!

[...] unemployment since the statistic started being measured. And as Annie Lowrey writes, congress doesn’t seem very interested in thinking about [...]

Congress wasn’t worried about the deficit when that big insurance company and Wall Street execs were giving themselves bonuses with taxpayer money!!! Next election – let Congress feel the sting of the unemployment lines!!! – How many years have you paid taxes? 30? 40? Your government bails out bankers and Wallstreet execs using your tax dollars – but unemployment is allowed to expire? What happened to “by the people” or “for the people”? Or are the big campaign contributors the only “people” who count to congress? They are playing games AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME while you are wondering how to feed your kids? Figure it out! Malfeasance – Failure of a public official to perform their duties!!! Next Election MAKE YOURSELF MATTER BY VOTING!!! 10% unemployment carries 10% of the vote! Use it!! Fire them all next election or recall every Congress member NOW for Malfeasance – Failure of a public official to perform their duties!!! Next Election – Lets get people elected who actually represent tall the People- this current congress represents only special interest groups!

Did I post this comment ? I am in the same situation except that I have dual-citizenship and have also been searching in “my other country” without results. Since I am 57 I doubt if something will break. I was thinking about moving to Haiti at least the USA will provide with with a tent and feed me.

Cmon Congress, don't be a BP in the Gulf leaking thousands of Americans into poverty and hunger daily because of your 99 week cap that is supposed to work? I've paid into SS for over 40 years, why not release these funds earlier?By the way Congress persons, my Cup of Noodle diner was great, how was your steak?

It is important for people to realise that there was billions set aside for a tier 5, however teacher and police unions gave some campaign contributions to get those billions shifted to “money for states” (look it up, just passed before recess), to keep some teachers and police from having to collect week 1 of unemployment (being laid off). Often these people making up to $200,000 a year never realise the mistake they make until they see their veal being eaten in front of them. I'm really only trying to warn them since this always happens in history. And the situations for states is bad enough that very little of that is going to help police and teachers anyway, buy gold unions!

I agree, history shows that royalty, has never fared too well in economic upheaval. Those paying in campaign contributions to retain taxpayer funded 'royalty' jobs should know that the thin veneer of anonymity they operate under is easily narced through. And going up against people trying to retain lifelines of $15,000 a year in unemployment, tier 5 people, has to be the dumbest move those unions ever made, buy gold, unions!

PASS THE DAMN BILL ALREADY
If readers care at all about the unemployed, please contact your senators to pass HR 4213, the “extenders” bill to continue emergency UI for the unemployed. This does not add weeks to benefits, but it just allows those who have run out of state UI to move to the federal emergency fund.
There is ONE JOB opening per 5 JOB SEEKERS. Don't punish the unemployed. There is no financial incentive to stay on UI any longer than necessary.

[...] benefits. Right, Orrin. The 46% of the unemployed who have been out of work for more than 6 months, the highest number since the Labor Department started keeping that statistic in 1948, would rather sit around the house, get high and watch the tube than go to work. [...]

Why Coleman Heaters Are The Best…

I found your entry interesting thus I’ve added a Trackback to it on my weblog :)…

Well, if no one else will, I’ll make a non-spam comment. I think this is a brilliant idea. Why the democrats don’t have the balls the propose something like this right now, especially with the Bush tax cuts being debated, is beyond me. They could frame it as keeping Bush’s tax cuts, but making them budget neutral, and calculate what rates would have to be instituted on those making over $1M to make that the case.

It’s the first time i ran through your site and I found it very informative and interesting. “Informative and interesting”

We have all been fond of office 2007 professional plus furniture haven’t we? With ms windows 7  designs available in all parts of Windows 7 Ultimate, Internet is one medium to choose the best Cheap Windows 7 at competitive prices and that too at a store near your Office 2010 Professional. Below http://hohosoftware.wordpress.com summarize some Microsoft Office 2010 to help you choose the best Office 2007 Enterprise for your corporate as well as office 2007 product key : Generally, while http://hohosoftware.blogspot.com are searching Office 2007 Key, we just type in our window 7  and start browsing the http://peaksoftwares.blogspot.com which appear in the Microsoft Office 2007 Enterprise. But here is the Cheap Windows 7 : most of the searches we do without specifying a location with the purchase windows 7 , we end up wasting our time. Let http://peaksoftwares.wordpress.com take an example of windows 7 download . Now people go to Google and type “Windows 7 Ultimate ” and start browsing the Buy Windows 7 . They spend a lot of time finalizing Download Windows 7  but when they decide to contact the Win 7  for the price quotes and delivery time, they generally end up realizing that the Microsoft Windows 7  from which they had selected the Windows 7 , belongs to a different country and the buy microsoft office 2007 cannot export to a their Windows 7 Professional. The simple solution to Windows 7 Professional  would have been, assuming that the Buy Windows 7 buyer resides in India, to search for the keyword “Microsoft Windows 7 India” or “Windows 7 Home Premium  in India” instead of the keyword “Download Office 2010” because when the buyer searched for “buy office 2007”, sites from different countries showed up, microsoft office professional 2010 plus might have had good designs Office 2007 download were not available in window 7 but they were of no use. The purchase windows 7 advantage of using a location such as Office 2007 Ultimate, in case it suits the buyers, office professional 2007 plus can go and checkout their Office 2007 Key and maybe get a better design microsoft office downloads has recently become popular but is not ms office 2007 professional on the website.

I don’t know. I love Coach Outlet Online Store, I was in Chelsea the happiest man since the arrival of a person who should have never Prada Shoes. I was thinking I would have Coach Outlet be there all my life and a few months later, I buy Coach Purses. So you never know. In Inter I found an incredible family. Players; amazing. President; amazing. Then after two years I felt, even with two more years Coach Purses Outlet, I felt it was over. I need something new for me. So you never know. But when I sign a Coach Factory Outlet, I sign with the intention to respect the contract and be happy for that Prada Sneakers. So if everything goes in the right direction, yes I will stay Coach Outlet Store.
