Just as always the greedy county employees will be there to help laid off workers get ebt cards, and employment assistance. And any other benefits that are available.

Another example of the devastating legacy of the Bush era. I'm sure he's sitting at home very concerned right now.

The company has over 1billion in work/contracts waiting to be completed, but lays of employees... who's going to do all that work. Makes no sense.

They should go replace the nurses who are striking at the Hospital despite their $67/hr pay.

How about outsourcing? It was a huge topic in the Clinton administration but did he stop it? No. I do believe the Democrats had a majority during the Bush Jr administration. What did they do? Nothing. Simple minded liberals and conservatives that only know how spew ignorant hate are the real problem. Unfortunately they have the right to vote and they stupidly keep sending the same thieves back into power regardless of political affiliation.

No. I'm talking about how Bush sent our economy into a tailspin and tanked it almost into oblivion. Remember people (still) losing jobs , retirement funds, homes, security and hope? What planet were YOU on? Interesting how "independent" comments like yours seem to come up only in defense of the GOP. Just some things to keep in mind come voting time...

And they REALLY think about rebuilding instead of repairs? Like a domino effect; This down; that down, materials down, construction down......
Cemex started it.

Granite Construction is one of the finest companies in the area. They would only lay-off employees as the result of terrible economic conditions. This not a corporate greed situation but a necessary measure to stay alive for a better day. There is no joy at Granite today.

With all the bellicose threats from North Korea, perhaps Granite could start a new fad and get property owners to build bomb shelters similar to cold war bunkers. If the fad takes off, maybe we could reopen the Cemex plant too. Think of all the private contractors who could be employed building forms. Just an idea to get money flowing...

Just some things to keep in mind come voting time... As usual another hater that can't get the point. The "tailspin" didn't start with Bush. It started with the erosion of American production by your elected officials. It was also greatly contributed to by the Democrat policy that every family must own a home whether or not they can afford it which contributed to lax banking oversight. If you were literate you would have noticed I stated this is not a Republican/Democrat issue. I'm a moderate. Always have been. Always will be. Extremists left or right are mental. The fervor of small minded people who are incapable of looking at history are doomed to repeat it. Go on with you're PC little rant now.

And Bush wandered around the White House in office for 8 years. When he wasn't drooling and picking his nose, he let a senseless war happen.

Actually it is the employer, not the employee that pays unemployment insurance.This is a tax for having employees, not a reward. This program was created so there is the option of adjusting workforce. This is not an investment by the workers. The employees pays disability insurance (SDI). So in reality, unemployment may actually be increased by Employment Development
