ObamaNomics: Harder For Unemployed To Find A Job Now Than During Great Depression…

Economic disaster thanks to Mr. Wonderful.

(CBS News) — There is an unfortunate adage for the unemployed: The longer folks are out of a job, the longer it takes them to find a new one.

CBS News correspondent Ben Tracy reports that the chronically unemployed face the hardest road back to recovery, and that while the jobs picture may be improving statistically on a national level, it is not for them.

…About 6.2 million Americans, 45.1 percent of all unemployed workers in this country, have been jobless for more than six months – a higher percentage than during the Great Depression.

The bigger the gap on someone’s resume, the more questions employers have.

“(Employers) think: ‘Oh, well, there must be something really wrong with them because they haven’t gotten a job in 6 months, a year, 2 years.’ But that’s not necessarily the case,” said Marjorie Gardner-Cruse with the Hollywood Worksource Center.

The problem of course is the economy, but some industries, especially certain manufacturing jobs, are not ever expected to come back. Experts say unemployed workers need to be prepared to change careers.

    Peggy Noonan’s editorial over the weekend provides the sentence that will define the 4 yr Obama admin:

    “He made it worse”

    i wish my grandmother was still alive so i could finally prove to her that her liberal thinking and voting lead to this.

    she did nothing but give me shit for not being able to find computer work in 02′ and her excuse was always “this isnt even close to how hard we had it back in the depression”.

    well,thanks grandma, for consistently voting democratic while sitting on your overpaid democratic pension from the state job you worked here in Illinazi.

    thanks for being so ignorant that you couldnt not learn from past mistakes.

    thanks.

    -President FFM

    Is it just me, or does the fellow in the above picture bear a resemblance to Anthony Weiner? “Stalked by stork”…maybe he’s Weiner’s grandpa!

    The idea of Weiner and his ilk being unemployed puts me in a sunny mood.

    The only reason you don’t see soup kitchen lines everywhere is due to the fact that the US can now print money to pay for the food stamp program. With the EBT card, free government cheese can be hidden from one’s fellow citizens.

    I think you can fill in that gap on your resume with one word – Obama!

    God bless America, Israel and our troops!

    LISTEN UP LIBTARDS AND RINOS,

    MILLIONS OF JOB OPENINGS CAN EASILY BE CREATED SIMPLY BY MANDATING THE USE OF THE E-VERIFY SYSTEM ON ALL CURRENT AND FUTURE EMPLOYEES AND BY ENFORCING OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS!

    IT IS TIME TO DEMAND THAT THOSE WHO ARE ILLEGALLY OCCUPPYING JOBS IN THE USA BE FIRED SO THAT US CITIZENS WHO ARE UNEMPLOYED CAN GET BACK TO WORK!

    WRITE YOUR REPRESENTATIVES IN CONGRESS AND DEMAND THAT WE START USING THE E-VERIFY SYSTEM!

    DEMAND THAT WE START ENFORCING OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS!

    AND DEMAND THAT THE EMPLOYERS WHO CONTINUE TO HIRE ILLEGALS ARE HELD CRIMINALLY RESPONSIBLE!

    IT’S TIME TO START LOOKING OUT FOR NUMBER ONE, AND TO STOP STEPPING IN NUMBER TWO!

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

    GOT IT?

    Obviously, these “experts” do not have to worry about rent and food while
    they go back to school to change their profession.
