I am in the unemployment statistic. And I have been unemployed since September 29, 2012. It's getting really annoying too. I have to do three work searches weekly. So add those work searches up since last year... They say there are jobs to be had! Oh, really? What jobs are they talking about? They are not talking about jobs that will give you a good living. No, quite the contrary... they are talking about jobs that pay $7.50 per hour if you're lucky. And those jobs are not 40 hours a week.
My wages were double that amount at the time of my layoff. Yes, I was making a decent living. I know I won't make that kind of money locally so I've been applying for jobs in the bigger city north of where I am from. But then you have to factor in the cost of driving to a job 30 minutes or more away from home. Wear and tear on your car... all that jazz. And then what is the amount of money I am likely to make at a job in the big city? I found out... $7.50 an hour...
Well, I have another job interview coming up. Wish me luck... it's only part time but it's in my back yard basically so at least the car thing won't have to be factored in so much.
Until I speak (write) again... don't take yourself so seriously... you might just croak tomorrow then you would have missed out on all that fun you could have encountered... one day at a time! Peace out!
