Unemployed fighting to stay afloat as extended COVID-19 benefits remain in limbo

1. Companies like the one that laid me off are not trying to bring back us back. I was a Manager with them for over 15 years and now they are hiring, but are hiring “Management Trainees” instead of bringing us back. They don’t want to pay the salaries they were paying us or give us the seniority we had. I wish our Government would over incentives to Companies like the one I worked for to bring us back. And these Companies I know are asking for and deserving so receiving help. But they should have to bring us back.
   Help us please.

2. Right after the pandemic close things down March 2020 my daughter got laid off her job 7 weeks she got the extra $600 a week with that and the unemployment she Drew more money not working after the 7 weeks her employer called all the employees back and she got scheduled 16 hours so she got partial unemployment and the extra amount she works at a Dental Arts lab.

3. "Employers can't find people to work". Yeah there's a fucking killer virus out there! No one wants to die!

4. guys India, UK, USA and the whole world facing such things and American get s aids. Indians not even get that aid because of our useless uneducated politicians. I don't know but my mom always taunts me that I am at home but everyone knows there is no one who wants to give jobs and government jobs are getting difficult more and more to get because of huge exam competitiveness . what I do now? now even LinkedIn is useless and even every relatives taunting me

5. All of you employers asking us "Why is there a gap on your resume?", you need to stop this okay. YOU KNOW WHY people haven't worked. And as much as I respect military veterans, why is every job either for former military personnel or people with more than ten years of experience in their field? If jobs aren't for either of those groups, then they're for interns/recent grads. There is never anything left for the rest of us, who don't fit into either of those demographics. Listen, people are living a lot longer. Employers can no longer assume that someone can't competiively perform at their jobs because they are in their 40s, 50s, or 60s looking for a job. Where are the jobs for people who want to enter a new field in their 40s, with limited work experience? Just because a woman has waited tables or worked in retail for a number of years at $12.00 an hour, doesn't mean that's what she should be limited to doing for the rest of her life. To Biden and Kamala, grown adults (not recent grads) need higher-paying jobs too! We need job training for today's chaninging labor markets. We need to have marketable skills. We need jobs that would allow us to learn on the job. How can a person ever become a specialist in anything, if companies aren't willing to invest some of their millions in revenue on attracting career changers and training up new workers for the positions they need to fill? Every job can't either be for recent grads or specialists. Millions of people who are in between are experiencing trouble entering the job market because of age discrimination and discrimination against people with limited work experience. And this has been going on in the labor market for many years, unchecked and unregulated, and it is not being addressed.

6. The lady next door to me has not worked in more than a year. She has three kids, lives with her parents. Less than 4 minutes away there is 5 fast food places open 16 hours a day, 4 gas stations, three open 24 hours a day, one order warehouse has three shifts and one major plant nursery all have help wanted signs posted everyday. So lets do the math on what she, her family has recieved. Free meals for her 3 children two times a day at school= $1800. Food stamps, Free internet at home because the school system went to computers for the kids from books as a learning tool. I pay $55 a month, so they get it for free even though school is not open all year long. $660.00 and by the way the school system stopped letting the kids take the laptops home, but internet is still free for them. Now child tax credit, even though they live with her parents she recieved $6000 in child tax credit in 2020. Covid money $1800 for her in 2020 and $1800 for her kids. So now with unemployment payments with the covid-19 extra extended help over $26,000 in 2020. Now 2021 still drawing enemployment because of the Covid-19 extra giveaways aving to cut back because it went from a extra $600 a week , now going to $300 or $400 a week extra. Will get $5600 in stimulus check for her and her 3 kids, $9600 back in child tax credits for her three kids this year. So why is she not wasting her time looking for a job to feed her family, why would she need to with food stamps and free medical medicaid. Sure she is not dumb, she can do the math and know she will loose money by going to work 5 days a week for 12 to 15 dollars a hour.

7. No one gets the max its 1/3 your pay. In mass my 15 dollar job gave me 320 before tax.

8. Imagine that, small business can't find workers at under $9 an hour.
   But small business can't provide full time hours due to economic lacking of consumer patronage.

9. 4:10 bingo lol.

10. People please keep looking for a job after you lose one, that way you can stay in your home.

11. The man who claimed that small businesses cannot find workers might I suggest that he makes a list of these small businesses that cannot find workers and make them public so that people who do want to work could find them

12. Can i say. In Australia we are having the same problems and i thunk its because during the lockdown a lot of people developed mental health issues, anxiety being the most common. Its more than possible people are just afraid and anxious to back to work in America too.

13. $600 dollars a week? I thought it was a month! I have never made $600 a week. That’s crazy!

14. Out of thousands of resumes, if she hasn't found a candidate then she's offering less than EDD benefits.

15. Congress should be the first to go without their paychecks. Both Nancy Polosi and Mitch Connelle are both worth millions of dollars. These two should not be deciding on whether or not we get $600 or $2000. Greed is destroying this country.

16. Pay a living wage and then you'll find workers

17. Advice from asia- get help from family,sell wht u can n buy food thts not perishable,plant veg,rear fish, save3

18. Puzder: "30 million unemployed, and yet all these small businesses can't fill these positions"
    …Yeah Andy, because THERE IS A PANDEMIC and it is not safe for anyone to take those jobs right now! Republicans are either too dumb to understand the obvious fallacy of their statements, or they think you're too dumb to see through their obvious lies.

19. I and my husband were in debts for three years until I came across this dude on YouTube and I explained my predicament to him, he then introduced me to an hacker that grant loans and does bank hack, PayPal hack, ,credit score fix, bank account, phone hack(cheating husband or wife) western union hack, cash app top up, credit card top up hack, NFCU referral/sponsorship, loan approval, Instagram verification, Facebook,Covid-19 grants and many more. After the hacker went through my information, my debt of $30k was cleared by him. Now I’m debt free. you can reach him on WhatsApp +17204430671 or Bankhac0@gmail.com he is very fast and reliable

20. Stop getting your 14 k and some change and see how you feel when you lose your house senator

21. US politicians are deplorable. When working people pay federal taxes that money should be put aside in national reserve for a rainy day. Working US citizens should have been getting money without any questions asked. Just as Joseph had reserves in storehouses ancient Egypt in the bible. That money belongs to the public. This is why I said get ride of taxes and regulations. No Taxation without representation!

22. All those politicians are millionaires, they don't have our financial problems, therefore they can understand the amount of discord and suffering people are going through 😠😠😠

23. Where are all these illusionary jobs, they were not there before, 😠😠

24. Everybody needs stimulation and we are tired being home alone I know its not your obligation but all we want is a little happiness

25. Please send some more stimulus money I know how to use mine please and I even appreciate 600 dollars

26. Months later still in limbo. Pathetic and unacceptable

27. I’m still unemployed. And my unemployment is going to expire at the end of December. It was helpful for me to pay bills.

28. God help us all over the world

29. Fast forward 3 month. $1.8 Trillion was offered by the Trump admin. Nancy refused. Now will settle for half that amount. Go figure what is going on.

30. The British European Rulers and British European Billionaires obtained  their Properties and Wealth through Deception and Theft…..;British European Rulers and British European Billionaires should be informed directly to Declare their Wealth publicly to the Citizen of Earth in that way Justice For All and If they refuse to comply with the World Justice Court……; They should be removed completely from any International Public Offices to a further notice.

31. Government has and will always screw the people.
