He had to show he looked for work a number of times each week. The problem was that the first place he checked to show he had tried, hired him and he never got unemployment payments. Sad.

They retire early or they become homeless or they move away to some place that has some sort of a job. Some of them move overseas. I have several friends working in other countries now because there are no jobs here. No some do not return to work.

The federal government says they calculate unemployment not by unemployment benefits but from surveys of households determining how many are employed and how many are seeking employment. It IS true that those not seeking employment are not treated as unemployed, but that makes sense too. For example people in school are often not working but are not considered unemployed. Spouses who aren't seeking employment outside the home aren't considered unemployed. David considering considerations REGARDING:

When the people find out the whole truth. I am curious, what point must the deficit reach, before the federal government ceases to be a legitimate governing body? I am glad we have Sheriff Morgan in office, because as the governing processes start to faulter, and things descend, we will have to depend on our local leadership to hold things togather.
