Stop the EUC (Emergency Unemployment Compensation) cut of 16.8%!!
Why is this important?
I have to support myself, am 61 yrs. old, was laid off my job 9/28/12 & still can't get a job because it seems that no one wants to hire anyone past the age of 40, even though I have been working 40 years. Also, it seems that no one wants to interview people if they don't have at least one certificate or degree. They don't seem to want to train, just "jump in", but we have to know their procedures, etc. & at least some training. June 1, 2013 my unemployment will be cut by 16.8%. The original 6 months of unemployment was bad enough, meaning I still couldn't pay all bills on time, and now it will be even harder.
