Are the unemployed screwed?
)
June 6th, 2010
Many of us know how bad it is to be unemployed.
Companies will not hire the unemployed.
Most of the jobs reported in the last round of unemployment numbers are temporary.
Congress is dragging it’s feet on extending benefits.
And yet, there are many that are convinced that the economy is strong because the top 1% see their incomes soar while banks and brokerage firms hand out huge bonuses, so they figure that those that are not doing well are suffering entirely due to their own mistakes. That anybody who wants a job can get one, and those that lose jobs and don’t have enough in the bank to survive the couple of weeks until they get another job.
To me, it seems like the unemployed are getting screwed every which way. Not only are the unemployed screwed over financially, they are ostracized and belittled as well.
