I don’t know any person doing that so it says volumes about your social circle and the kind of people you attract.


Maybe you should stop playing Xbox 24/7 and get out more, preferably to find a job. Get a part time job initially, as full time work may be too exhausting for you, given that you’ve spent more than a year on the couch.

Unemployment is intended to be a safety net, not a career choice. You have plenty of time to find a job. Fortunately, many positions pay the magic $15 per hour wage.

+1000 Companies are BEGGING for workers right now.
There is no reason for anyone to be unemployed right now.

I’m having a hard time fathoming why people are not falling over themselves to get hired for slave wages.


Some people don’t have good options due to their limited education and/or lack of drive.

They want low wage workers back to work. Instead they'll go on TCA.

Presumably his administration will be reinstating the TCA work search requirements too.

You strongly discourage employers? So, in other words you're not an employer? Exactly...

Get over yourself. The tourism and restaurant industry will snap them up so far their heads will spin - with bonuses.

Le Diplomate has a big 'NOW HIRING' sign across their website and they just hosted the President of the United States for lunch yesterday for god's sake.



Great, good luck applying at Le Diplomate!

Total.

This ends all programs except basic unemployment of 26 weeks from the state.

If you are on PUA, FPUC, MEUC, or PEUC it is canceled effective July 3rd.

If you have been on unemployment longer than 26 weeks (total), it is canceled effective July 3rd.

If you qualify for unemployment based on Covid, lack of childcare, pandemic emergency, it is canceled effective July 3rd.

If you have been on unemployment for less than 26 weeks, which basically means you started your claim in 2021, you will still be able to claim your full pay minus the $300/wk boost until the conclusion of your original claim.


Thanks! This is helpful. You explained it better than their actual communication. Lol

Which companies would you recommend? WFH opportunities? Great pay? Or minimum wage retail work?
