The United State Postal Service USPS is attempting to close post offices, cutting jobs of workers and the many people who service the PO. Congress in its effort to privatize the PO made them pay for 75 years of pensions costing 5.5 B a year. Rural PO's particularly in impoverished counties are vital to residents without transportation or bank accounts.

Break the gridlock in Washington. The citizens out of work do not care which party create jobs They do care that jobs are created

Cost of living raises for low-wage workers and two weeks vacation time every year effective at date of hire. Ten paid sick days per year It is very difficult to keep up with the cost of living when you don't make a living wage in the first place. Also, too many places of employment make you wait at least one year before being eligible for any vacation time whatsoever. I have not had a private sector job that has offered paid sick days since 1993. These days if you are too sick to go to work, your pay gets docked making it even more difficult to pay the bills.

Jobs and the economy!!!

Economy

Republicans refuse to put forth in a bipartisian way, job creation for the unemployed, yet they mistakenly insist that the Democrats are not doing just that. It is time we called on the House and Senate Republicans and asked them to tell the American people why they are holding them hostage to an economy that can only be overcome with the Republicans being part of the solution. Right now they are part of the problem.

Earlier this year, a Federal Advisory Committee appointed by the Departments of Interior and Agriculture commenced work on creating a set of recommendations to establish and implement a 21st century Conservation Service Corps modeled after the Great Depression era Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC).

NAFTA should be amended to allow workers and unions the same rights of mobility that it extends to corporations.

Even though the Americans with Disabilities Act went into effect in 1990, too many employable Americans with disabilities are still out of work. The outrageously high number of employable Americans with disabilities is unacceptable in a modern economy. It's clear that people with disabilities have the highest unemployment rate among any group, and have been left behind in the economic expansions since the ADA became law. We must work to make the dream of our nation's 41st President, George H.W. Bush, of people with even minor disabilities to become part of the economic mainstream of the United States, come true. Strengthening the ADA to ensure more employable people with disabilities obtain good-paying professional jobs should include the following: 1) Adding those with high-functioning autism spectrum disorders, such as Asperger's Syndrome, to the list of people protected from discrimination in employment and accommodations, under the ADA. This sub-group has the highest unemployment rate among the group of employable people with disabilities. 2) Deny employers who discriminate against people with disabilities in employment the right to bid on federal government contracts. 3) Encourage employers to hire people with disabilities, especially those whose only source of income is disability benefits from Social Security, who have college degrees, for professional jobs, and pay them competitive wages. 4) Institute a minimum $1,000 fine (up to as much as $10 million, depending on the company's size) if a company is found to have discriminated against an applicant with a disability in employment and/or accommodations. 5) Make it easier for a person with a disability suing a would-be or former employer to prove discrimination on the basis of disability by taking into consideration the economic damage done to that person due to that particular act of discrimination rather than the damage done to the company. 6) Make it illegal for the agencies charged with administering Vocational Rehabilitation programs to place persons with disabilities with college degrees in low-paying stereotypical jobs, such as supermarket courtesy clerks (grocery baggers), janitors, and working in sheltered workshops. 7) Increase the tax credits for hiring people with disabilities, especially in professional employment, and raise taxes on employers who won't hire people with disabilities. People with disabilities who are employable can, and must, work. Stronger disability rights laws will ensure the dignity of the employable person with a disability, and secure his or her future, both socially and economically.

Created demand! Create jobs by allowing no interest/penalty withdrawal from 401Ks/IRAs so we can buy goods/services, thus force BIG business to hire more people using money they currently sit on. We buy goods/services, it creates the need for more jobs; those employed will buy goods/services; and so on. Big banks, it is our money and we want to use it - give it to us! Businesses, hire more people and they can help the economy too. Us, we can buy food and clothes, repair homes, buy cars, take vacations, go to a movie, etc. WIN WIN WIN!

It's time all churches be taxed. All should pay their fair share.

The presidents's numbers on jobs are dishonest and meant to decieve. Demand that the WH give the actual number of people that are no longer looking, and those currently looking,for work, and add the two together. It's pretty simple.
