Comments on: Senate Passes Jobless Package, Sends Back To House http://www.northescambia.com/2011/05/senate-passes-jobless-package-sends-back-to-house Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sat, 25 Apr 2026 14:41:28 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: WORRIED RESIDENT http://www.northescambia.com/2011/05/senate-passes-jobless-package-sends-back-to-house/comment-page-1#comment-85212 WORRIED RESIDENT Fri, 06 May 2011 01:16:31 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=53556#comment-85212 The article said that $275 per week is the MOST that anyone can get right now! No matter how much you have been bringing home from you job. That being said, it's a fact, the more people make, the more they spend (bills are larger). Please tell me, who are the lazy people who choose/can afford to sit at home, instead of taking a lower paying job? I'm sure people who have been in management are use to bringing home a lot more than $275, and would gladly take a job that would at least pay the bills they have acquired (house, car, etc), because at 275/wk, the likelyhood of them losing all of it is pretty high. Before you post these foolish comments, please take time to THINK them through!!! The article said that $275 per week is the MOST that anyone can get right now!

When are the folks gonna look for employment if they are working full time? That is, unless we assume that all who collect unemployment are lazy bums. I don't think that. As far as the jobs that are available, I bet some of the folks on this forum would like to know where they are, Fay. Maybe you could clue them in.

To date I have $19850, but I can only collect $2700 of it? Where does the rest go? I have looked for a job for over a year, every day and in any capacity that I thought I could do. i finally gave up and retired. Escambia County is the worst place to try to find work...if I could even sell my house I'd move somewhere else where I could find a job!!!! Let’s see, I pay into my unemployment fund.

If community service were required in order to get unemployment, a lot more people would work whatever job is available and not hold out for that "management position". Community service would motivate more to actively try to get a job. Too many people are sitting at home because they don’t want to work the jobs available.

I have no doubt all of us can come up with jobs for them to do IF we are going to SUPPORT THEM. I think people would also have more self esteem if they were not just handed a check. 40 hours of community service never killed anyone.
