In response to Hazlet, I have over twenty years of professional work experience, a multitude of recommendations, a bachelor's degree, and am currently working on my MBA in order to bolster and improve my current knowledge level and experience. I have been looking for a job for fourteen months since my last company went bankrupt. Out of over 175 resumes submitted, I have gotten five responses and two whole interviews. I am available immediately. Are you hiring? I am very ready to work. I await your response.
On Jobless rate highest since 1983
Don't these morons who attempt to steal money from their company know that these same companies use things like balance sheets to keep track of their finances? It is not like they just keep their money in a closet and don't count it. What an idiot.

You can only guess my shock and surprise this morning when I got up and poured a bowl of cereal. Inside the box was a Nobel Peace Prize. My first inclination was to return it as there must have been a mistake. Then, when I saw that the President also received one for basically his two weeks in office before the nomination deadline, I decided that I will keep mine after all. Since I have now been unemployed for a year, it would seem that my consistent job hunting and going back to school has done about just as much for world peace as anyone else. Thank you very much everyone!!
donaldo, you obviously have never been to Pacoima.

"According to the report, none of them were wearing safety belts." Seems to be a difficult concept to understand in this part of the country. It is reported over and over.

A whole $ 1000.00? You would think that they could at least throw in a toaster or coffee mug or something.
On Reward offered in bank robberies
I remember those guys playing on the Strip back in 1998. They looked like little kids back then. A three piece band with a lot of energy and some anger too. I did not realize that they were still around.
hockeymom, You have pretty much hit the proverbial nail on the head. Actually, my last two jobs were both in the Kansas City area. One company was purchased by their competition who shut them down and the other went into bankruptcy followed by a layoff. My primary search remains in the KC area as I realize that this is the only chance that I have to find employment that is commensurate with my skillset and qualifications, other than relocation of course. Here in St. Joseph, it is proven time and again that qualifications are secondary to who you know. The Chamber seems to be ineffective in terms of real action for the local community and those of us who have proper qualifications for higher paying jobs. And before anyone responds that the Chamber is not a employment agency, that is obvious and painfully apparent. I do not mean to intentionally bash the Chamber as they do provide a service to the community, just not in this particular realm. Maybe they could start talking to some of us who feel the need to work out of town, find out why we do, and the levels of frustration that is encountered when local searches are attempted to no avail. Sadly, I expect no response as usual.

And then there are those of us who currently live here that have advanced degrees, a number of years of professional experience that includes managerial level expertise that have been downsized, laid off, or simply not working due to a company that has gone out of business. We cannot get a response from a submitted resume or application from most in this town. I am not alone as I know and talk to several others in the same situation. You want high earnings workers who already live here? We are already here but evidently, no one seems to want us.
