Since Nov. 1 2010....Over a year of collecting. Just got my last 11 week extension..after waiting 4 HRS to see someone.....the reports on tv that unemploymet is down is absolute BS. There were so many f'n people at the Fall River office last week i thought there were gonna be riots...Don't know what I gonna do if that runs out and I still no have job.
It is a tough world out there. I have an excellent resume and experience. Problem as I told the unemployment lady is there is no incentive to even find a job. I have been on interviews for jobs that 2 yrs ago would start at 60k, that are now starting at 32k......I make almost that much sittin on my arse at home with my daughter. Why get a job to work 40+ hrs a week, commute costs, and deal with a-holes for a little more momey than I make on unemployment when I'd just end up shellin it out in day care.......Sux. Good luck.
