Long Term Unemployed Surges to Post-Pandemic High

[Hafar1014]

So let’s define what you think welfare is and what you don’t like about it

The Great Society Started under Johnson. It was supposed to end poverty. It failed. It created the single mother black family which is the main cause of poverty and crime. Today blacks are the second poorest culture and create the highest rate of crime and murder. IT did make them dependent on democrats who have discovered a new frm of slavery

Anybody that's been unemployed for more than 6 months is not looking for work. I could land myself 10 jobs in a week if I wanted.

No, you couldn't. Not if they are not hiring.

 

[Hafar1014]

No, you couldn't. Not if they are not hiring.

There are always job opening and you can also create your own job.

Grim news regardless of your party preference. Employment is the temperature gauge of the nation’s economy. The number of unemployed people looking for work more than six months has surged to its highest level since the pandemic. Basically these are people put out of work during Trump’s first few months and still are not employed.

Nice job Trump.

Why a surge in long-term unemployed workers is ringing alarm bells

The number of unemployed people looking for work more than six months has surged to its highest level since 2021.

www.cbsnews.com

As of August, the number of long-term unemployed people had risen to 1.9 million, according to government data — the highest level since 2021, when the nation was still reeling from the pandemic.

With the job market faltering in recent months as employers put the brakes on hiring, more workers are being sidelined for months on end, economists told CBS News.

"We're continuing to see this low-hire, low-fire environment," said Laura Ullrich, Indeed's director of economic research for North America and a former official at the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond. "There aren't really new jobs being opened up for people — there isn't room for new people to come in."

A CBS News poll released Thursday captures the dimming view many Americans have of the labor market, with 33% of respondents describing it as "good," down from 41% in April. What's more, 48% said they think there are fewer good jobs where they live compared to five years ago.

Government deep-state leftwing employees gone. That's a good thing.

I hear all this stuff about unemployment, but I don't see it here. There are factory jobs all over the place, begging for people to sign up. All the big boxes are hiring. Everybody is hiring.

 

[Dr. Phosphorous]

There are always job opening and you can also create your own job.

I'm not talking total shit jobs. I'm talking about jobs that you can actually afford to live on, making over $70K per year with healthcare and a 401K.

You are correct employment is not the emp gauge what kind of employment is. When is government debt based jobs that causes inflation and we dont need them anyway.

Again. Define what you think welfare is and what you don’t like about it.

If you mean any assistance for anyone under any circumstance, say so and tell us why that’s abhorrent

And note that what you have so far mentioned are TEMPORARY assistance programs that often have work requirements to be eligible and very defined end dates… like five years TOTAL LIFETIME limits

 

[Lesh]

No it didn’t. We have TANF, food stamps, Medicaid, housing subsidies, etc., etc. Those are all a form of welfare.

The problem is we give single mothers with four illegitimate children the choice between getting the fathers to pay child support or just getting welfare from taxpayers. They shouldn’t have that option.

Ya know who is one of the biggest recipient of these welfare programs?

Orthodox Jews.

But then being a conservative Jew yourself, you know this and pretend it’s otherwise

I'm not talking total shit jobs. I'm talking about jobs that you can actually afford to live on, making over $70K per year with healthcare and a 401K.

High school grads without any type of job or career training aren’t worth that much. So what they need to do is 1) take a $35,000 a year and double up with a roommate, and 2) use a Pell Grant to attend community college in the evening and get vocational training.

I did that if you cant understand it then you have the problem. Denial is no excuse for failure of your beliefs

That depends on what youre worth, your education, skills, ability intelligence. Personal capital. Dont have it then get it.

 

[Lesh]

You have not done that. You mentioned TANF… which has very defined requirements including work requirements and lifetime limits of five years… total

And you have avoided saying what it is about TANF that you take issue with

Orthodox Jews.

Leave it to a lib ^^^ to make a smack against Jews in a thread totally unrelated to them.

A SMALL subset of Orthodox Jews, who are already a small subset of all Jews. We are talking about perhaps 2% of all Jews. And Jews as a group contribute more to taxes than average because they are more educated and higher-earning than the average. This is not the case for blacks, as a group. who disproportionately use welfare.

(We knew many, MANY Orthodox Jews when I growing up. None were on welfare. They all had college degrees and were professionally employed.)

We have spent 27 trillion in blacks, Affirmative action, DEI, welfare, The Community Reinvestment Act, quotas and today they are no better off in fact the two parent family is destroyed, worst crime rate in the country, IQ dropped 15 points, lowest education results, low standards just fir them
Before the Democrat welfare state AAs were making great strides in employment and education. They had two parent families , low crime rates, low out of wedlock births, so democrats passed the Great Society and they went straight to hell. Democrats created the urban plantation and owned their vote by making them dependent on the state.

That is an illogical conclusion....If people are getting laid off, everyone is not hiring....Especially Trump.

Why are there so many whites in prison? We have spent moar on whites and they still are the leaders in the prison population...you hate blacks we can all see that...

Again. Orthodox Jews rely on welfare programs heavily.

Why is that OK but others using those programs are bad?

You mention large families. Have you seen the size of families in those Orthodox communities?

I mention it not as an attack on Jews but to point out your blatant and disgusting hypocrisy

There are approximately 2 million Hasidic Jews and 15% are on some form of welfare

 

[Hafar1014]

People are being fired and hired at the same time. Youre showing stage 1 thinking. The economy is in transition and still in many ways the Biden economy. Government jobs are being fired thats good thing since they cost us money and are funded by debt which cause inflation.
Trump is creating the foundation for a strong economy and its already working. Inflation is slowing wages are up tax cuts increase spending power. DOW at record highs.

Then get a job at a company that just laid off workers and prove yer theory.

You still fail to answer my questions
