Comments on: Almost 24,000 Out Of Work In Area; Unemployment Rates Increases http://www.northescambia.com/2009/12/almost-24000-out-of-work-in-area-unemployment-rates-increases Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Thu, 23 Apr 2026 19:53:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: praying for all http://www.northescambia.com/2009/12/almost-24000-out-of-work-in-area-unemployment-rates-increases/comment-page-1#comment-28152 praying for all Thu, 24 Dec 2009 05:00:38 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=13214#comment-28152 Lot of the %'s are just ones who have drawn unemployment...does not count ones not allowed to. Yes many are out of work, and yes many employers would rather hire a 'new' under qualified person (but not just teens). Many employers look at it like this...hire/keep highly qualified person for bigger $$ or get rid of them/pass them over and higher a new person for min. wage... My prayers are that God will meet the needs of everyone in need for them and their family...not necessarily wants, but needs. We all need to be doing a lot more praying for things to work out and turn around for the positive for all.

You may be able to pay some bills from that money. Also, I know for a fact that some high school kids NEED jobs just as much as your husband does. They have families that they help pay the bills for and some are paying for college so they don't have to work dead-end jobs for the rest of their lives. So keep your nasty, negative comments about teenagers to yourself. It's not their fault your husband has no job. Good luck to you. Instigator, try cutting off your internet access.

The service economy set up is always on shaky ground. We see the same problem nationally with most of our jobs being shipped overseas in the pursuit of corporate profit. While trying to stimulate the economy by building small business is good why doesn't Congress work on stopping this job bleeding and President Obama work behind the scene to force those corporations to at least bring back some of those jobs or face some kind of reprisal ( force = reprisal ). Some serious issues must be dealt with for the long term health of this country. Or we can always Raise Taxes This doesn’t surprise me seeing past resistance to real blue collar manufacturing jobs from coming to this area. The service economy set up is always on shaky ground.
