Unemployment benefits in California extending to 79 weeks
I am sure this will encourage people to look for jobs, right?
From the San Francisco Chronicle:
The bill, which passed on a 38-0 vote, would allow the state to draw up to $3 billion in stimulus money. Schwarzenegger is expected to sign it soon.
California is among more than a dozen high-unemployment states that need to make changes in its unemployment insurance system to qualify for the additional federal money.
The bill extends the maximum time Californians can receive benefits from 59 weeks to 79 weeks.
Who cares if people look for jobs? THERE ARE NO JOBS!!! You can look for a job all day every day and not find one.
Next year will be really interesting — the unemployment benefits will run out for millions of people all across this great land. Maybe then we’ll get the revolution we so desperately need.
If you live in the eastern part of the Greater Los Angeles metro area, please check out San Bernardino County’s online job fair website http://sbcjobfair.com . It has data collected from the 10/29/09 job fair at ONT airport and has around 100 employers offering 1,500 jobs. Good luck.
