Just to be clear, whether I'm getting the thread or not, I've applied everywhere in the time I've been out of work.
Walmart, Staple, Office Depot, McDonalds, Wendys,...you name it, I've applied for a job there. No one has called me back. So, I'm not a lazy ass who doesn't want work.
I'm one of the rare ones that would be willing to bust my ass for minimum wage to take care of my family.
I also never claimed unemployment. So, to the poster worrying about their tax dollars(ha!!) they weren't spent on me, even though I'm as entitled to them as anyone that pays taxes as was mentioned also.
But, I never went that route. I had money saved from my previous job which I thought I would end up retiring from.
The only thing I can gather is that folks would rather hire an 18 year old than a 40 year old.
My last employer and I left on pretty rough terms, and I hate to use him as a reference because he may kill me when called for a prospective job. But it's pretty hard not to, being there 8 years.
I'm trying my ass off and nothing.
