An extensive job training program needs to be implemented in Illinois and other other states to train unemployed workers so that they will be more marketable in the work force. We are not lazy, we want to work, need to work and demand the right to work.
Why is this important?
I am a 42-year-old female who has not had a job that pays a living wage in almost six years. I have a Bachelor's degree and fifteen years of administrative/clerical experience but I cannot find a job. Every day I sit at home out of work makes me feel very low and my skills are slowly ebbing away. There are many individuals like myself who through no fault of their own, find themselves considered used goods in the working world. We want to work, need to work and demand the right to work. We need more job training programs to help displaced workers like myself and others to make us more marketable in the job field.
