I found out that my unemployment will be ending early. December 30th is the last day of unemployment not only for me, but for millions of others as well.  Congress has not voted on releasing funds for extended or emergency benefits which seriously impacts millions of unemployed Americans.

With the way the economy is sinking and more jobs leave the country for offshore places like India, you have to ask what is going to happen to us?  Since NAFTA and the pork bellied laws signed by Bush, more jobs are leaving this country every day with no end in sight.  The Obama administration has not done a thing to put an end to it or bring back jobs.  Romney would have been worse since he publicly supported the offshoring of jobs.

Long Island has been seriously hit with the down turn.  Jobs are leaving here fast.  No wonder, taxes are insane, the cost of living is among the highest in the country, pollution is getting worse everyday.  So companies are leaving in droves.  And with them, jobs.  What jobs are left are going to unbdocumented aliens for the low end jobs, and the rest to those under 40 with those under 30 getting the bulk of them.  For the rest it is who can stab who in the back first and the best.

And with the announcement that taxes are going up even higher as well as fuel oil plus add how LIPA is sure to raise rates through the roof, more jobs are going to leave.  By the end of 2013 I am guessing that 20% if not more companies will leave.  And more "mom and pop" businesses will be forced to close their doors ever before in history.

Long Island is no nirvana.

So far for me it has been 9 months since I was terminated and so for no prospects.  With this being Christmas season and no income coming in, it is going to be a dollar store type of holiday.

Anyway, I am going to make this short for I have to send out more resumes.  Never know when one hits.

'till next time.
