RE: any new news?
Nope..not yet
Hiring to remain ‘stable’ yet ‘sluggish’
Almost 70% of U.S. companies surveyed expect no change in their fourth-quarter hiring plans, said employment services company Manpower Inc. The report surveyed 28,000 employers in 200 metropolitan areas.

This is crazy! They are going to focus on the health care reform and push the unemployment extension till late October or early November to cover the holidays so we can spend it on shopping like they expect us to. Stand up and write to your politicians to pass H.R. 3404 with a different amendment and covers all states with 13 weeks 20 for high.
Spencir, why do you keep copying other people’s posts from Washington Watch? Or are those your names also? We can just read them at Washington Watch. There is no reason for them to be reposted here.

No way will it be spent on shopping ..I will be spending it ..to get my electric, gas and water turn on by then ..plus the re-connection fees :(
Is that true, that they are going to put this off until October or November. OMG, what are we going to do? We need this now, I am getting very very scared now…..

Last year congress recessed for 2 months to campaign for the 2008 election ..and they passed hr 6867 when they return in Nov 2008.. That is why we waited 2-3 months last year before we recieved benefits..
@ spincir , Where did you get this information ?
“They are going to focus on the health care reform and push the unemployment extension till late October or early November to cover the holidays so we can spend it on shopping like they expect us to.”
This is getting old …
please ignore spencer and his other personalities, he simply makes crap up and copies and pastes others comments from the middle of this thread and others, his sole purpose is to disrupt this thread,
but to answer your question in the beginning of this thread you will see were Gunther said that the administration would look at the unemployment issue towards the end of the year( thats not new news its july news and nothing has changed). Their are some congressmen and women wanting to address this but so far leadership won’t even put it on the schedule for discussion, committee or vote.
Spencir copies posts and replies from other boards. He copied some of mine last week.
nothing new really but its news …

Got a very unusual phone call yesterday, a recorded survey in which it did not state it was for either politico party, press 1 for yes 2 for No.
questions asked: do you think economy is getting better, are you employed or unemployed, if unemployed what do you think your chances are of gaining employment in the next six months, do you see the recession lasting much more longer than a year, and etc, etc, after last question asked the line went dead
no thanks for taking the survey, no survey sponsered by who? very curious who is sending out a survey like that.

I called Senator Reid’s office. Guy that answered said Unemployment bill will not be addressed this week(as far as he knows). Of course, I am skeptical because past history shows they do not know much that is going on -I expressed my dismay…I also called House Leader Hoyer’s office(transferred from Pelosi’s office – they have no info). She said that the schedule on here is updated daily due to changes – she is not privy to the information on hand.

Please continue to call/email Reid and Hoyer’s offices. I may contact McDermott too and will update if I hear anything.
Please contact them today. We need to push this along…

Here’s a story to get your blood boiling:
Sherk: Ending unemployment benefits adds incentive
http://www.detnews.com/article/20090907/BIZ/909070356
Oh yea..Sherk is an a$$hole from my home state of MI. I avoid his writings like the plague.
The study they look at about people spending more time looking for work after they used up most of their benefits, you have to look at other reasons too. Why are they spending less time early on, then later.
When someone is first unemployed I’m sure they spend alot more time trying to get through to the Unemployment Office, then looking for work. There’s a personal adjustment to the lay off, people have to spend time making a resume, re-adjustments to the family….all of this takes more time early on.
Did the study look at other reasons?

Amazing it didn’t talk about a lot of the house prices being lower than the mortgages and the unemployed not being able to move somewhere else where jobs are being offered. It also didn’t talk about how the household debt is higher than any previous times. It didn’t talk about the businesses being taxed higher every year with new rules making it harder to stay in United States and a lot of businesses forced taking their business overseas. So who’s fault is it that all this happened? Who lowered the interest rate causing the bubble in house prices and card cards? Lets start pointing the finger in the right direction shall we!
The House bill is for 13 weeks- the Senate is for up to 20. Twenty weeks would cover the holidays and then some. They can revise the House to match the Senate and avoid another extension. No need to delay.
Where are you seeing 20 weeks? S 1647 is for the same amount 13 weeks – only difference is the Unemployment rate is slightly lower 8.5%. We can only hope that it changes to 20 weeks…
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s1647/text
You are correct. A 20 week provision isn’t in either of these bills. However it is being recommended by NELP for states with a TUR of 11%.

As lawmakers return to Washington on Tuesday, giving the jobless in states hit hardest by the recession another 13 weeks of funding will be one of the first issues they’ll address…
