Helping Americans Get Back To Work
Unemployment rates currently do not reflect individuals who have given up in their quest for work. Still, thousands of Americans remain unemployed or underemployed. I am requesting that we urge our government officials to place unemployment (the unemployed and the underemployed) at the TOP of their agendas. Until we're under "5" (under a 5 percent unemployment rate), our country won't thrive.
Why is this important?
Yes, I have been personally affected. I have been laid off twice in four years, and I know people who have been laid off three times during the same time period. I have since relinquished my residence, and I have changed my lifestyle, still seeking, someday, to return to fulltime, permanent employment.
