How can the unemployment rate fall when job losses go up?

So true now. The old ones know.
Americans have become weak and fearful things
Joe,
Today, a friend forwarded to me a news article with this headline: “Fines proposed for going without health insurance.” Here are some things I don’t get:
1) If folks can’t afford to reroof the Old Manse or buy groceries or put retreads on the Jimmy, how (and why) are they going to get insurance, and
2) If they can’t afford insurance, how are they going to afford the alleged fine, and
3) Who is the Insurance Police, who’s going to rat me out, and
4) Why did The Bastards wait until the whole country is unemployed to pull this shit, and
5) Who elected these boobs — wait, I have a long-standing soft spot for boobs; make that “idiots” — anyway, and supposedly to act in our interests? Not me.
My elected representatives so far stand mute on these salient and vexing points.
I tell ya, I’m glad I’m old and won’t have to watch much more of this nonsense go by. Although, my Ma’s 85 and going strong, still tearing up trees and throwing rocks, I seriously don’t think I can take it. I’ll blow the beans out of my pressure cooker one of these days.
And you? Well?
I am not sure what you mean by blowing beans out of your pressure cooker but it doesn’t sound good.
Oh, I forgot the link.

So funny you vote yes for the first part but no for the second part of the same story.
Alright so let me get this straight. I live in Connecticut. So not only are we not getting the 7 weeks of EB but we will not qualify for the new federal extension either??? How could this be? Can’t exceptions be made? I mean everyone in CT knows the numbers have been messed with.
This is insane.
Ya know I was confused when Don Manzullo sent me an email stating that they were working on passing another 6 months of unemployment extensions. I didn’t realize that what he meant was hr 3548 is 13 weeks and if they pass hr 3404 then that would be another 13 weeks. They really do need to extend the extensions to the end of 2010 otherwise that wouldn’t be fair to the newly unemployed people. But do you think that would include another 13 weeks also then? Maybe they will pass that before the new year cause that’s when we would all run out again. I’m sure they know from the reports that the job rates are going to get worse after 2009 so maybe that’s what Manzullo meant when he said 6 month extension. If thats true then that would be great!
Does this mean we will end up getting 85 weeks total?
Here in pa it will be 79 + 13.
So the yahoo page lists the states that will qualify but Rhode Island is not on the list, we have the second highest unemployment rate in the country, am I to believe this bill does not help us?
No, they just screwed up. They also left off Idaho and Maine.
Will the cut off date still be 2006?
surely it is a yahoo mistake
of course when is the media wrong?
No worries, RI is on that list, the previous news quote was incomplete.
See http://www.house.gov/mcdermott/pr090910.shtml
or the Doleta link for the TUR rate on which the 8.5% qualifying rate is based. Your own Senator Reed introduced a bill in the Senate earlier on.
We are even showing 8.1% Who is looking out for Connecticut???
Don’t worry, a whole bunch are working on it.
Us old new englanders are a tough bunch for sure.
But what is your TUR?
That is the Ct. TUR now, 8.1%
Are you asking about the three month TUR average?
Jen
We keep getting screwed, you have to look at the TUR = wew are @ 7.93 – we need the rate in October (Sept numbers) to stay the same or go up to 8.2 just TO GET THE 7 WEEKS OF eb?
Unless a miracle happens we wont see nothing on this bill till who knows when
I’ll take the 7 weeks or maybe one of our GREAT Senators will come through & fight for all states!! Governor Rell supports the bill!!
i wanted to know if this will be retroactive for the people who have been with out benefits since august if passed.
No. It begins on the day it is signed (I think)
As this bill is written now,it is not retroactive. Enactment of the bill will dictate the start date.
no
I believe they will pass weeks for everyone. After all everyone needs this. It probably won’t be retroactive. Once it’s passed and the moneys in yourn account, the weeks will start then
