Just what we need. A bunch of poor immigrants from south of the border dragging down our economy. ;-)

And Obama is still blaming bush. Do something to fix it, instead of just raising taxes.

[QUOTE="paradigm68"] While I agree with your post hippo, I don't think anybody wants this thread to turn into a huge quote fest about politics. kipohippo021

Too late, OT is full of liberals who jump at the chance to defend Obama.

...Just being honest.

Don't panic.

I have been laid off for the past year, cant find a job and i got a business degree. Currently in law school, and i have a trade i used to weld for 5 years. I cant find a job, my unemployment is about to run out in October. Im going to starve and become homeless if i dont find a job by then. What do you want me to do not abandon US? It has abandoned me.

Are you white? Do you have Job experience? Do you have an accent? If you met the above then fly to my country and you will get hired in about a week lawl.

had a job and got hurt on the job, now I'm waiting on the courts to settle the situation..

Man, I got laid off and I haven't been able to find a job anywhere. It's seems like we'll never pull out of this recession, and in fact it's getting worse. Everything is being outsourced to foreign companies so our government and these corporations are taking away more and more jobs. I'm scared man, really scared.

So what? Big deal man.

people seem to think that when people get laid off they have about $30,000k sitting around and the ability to get a small business loan while not having income at the same time. Outside of having a lemonade stand or work as an independent contractor you cant start a small business unless you can get access to a good amount of cash

Joining the military because you can't find a job is a really bad idea.

Really? Because my doctor almost disqualifed me because of a fracture in my hand that occured SEVERAL years before I enlisted.

Contrary to popular belief it is not easy to enlist...

No it is. Also I don't think I would wait long enough starving before I decided to join.

It all depends on the enrollment quotas. If they are on pace to meat their quota, they get picky.

I used to be in a similar situation a few years back when I was living in Michigan and still going to school. It sucked really bad and at the time I had like maybe a paycheck or 2 stocked up and was freaking out that everything was just going to come crumbling down. Luckily I was able to get in on a temp job and during that time I decided to start looking in other states for work.

I know some people don't like the idea of just getting up and leaving but in desperate situations sometimes that is best thing to do. I know right now Austin, Texas is in a huge tech boom for some reason and companies are hiring all kinds of IT people which is what I do but I'm content for now in Indiana which seems to be doing a lot better then some states during these economic times.

It's not better anywhere else my dude.
