OMG, I can't beleive this. Well, I guess I can. I have been waiting 5 weeks now for my unemployment to go through. I keep getting the run around. It could take 6-8 wks to get processed. My lights, gas and water are all on disconect notice. Went to the township trustee and was denied help since I had income last month. Well, my last income was over a month ago, they don't understand that. What is WRONG with this picture?????????? I wish someone was out there to help me and the hundreds of other moms in this same boat.

Maybe you should contact HIS MAJESTY MITCH DANIELS.
He thinks the economy is fine.

Mom, don't feel to bad yet. I filed for unemployment over two years ago and after six months of waiting was denied. I have been appealing this decision ever since, but doubt that it will ever happen. My employer gave me a reason for my job loss, but the reason they gave the state was different and my employment file at the company vanished. So it's my word against theirs and since this is Indiana, the employer always wins. I'm lucky my wife still works, but the job market is zero, I can't get hired even at minimum wage, seems my work history makes me over qualified. I work temp jobs now, two days here and there and then nothing for months, then a couple of days again. It isn't fun, but it helps a little.

The one thing I have learned about applying for a job in Indiana, you have to dumb down your resume or application, leave out a lot of your work history, and the more education you have the less you want to let an employer know about. Unless it's directly related to the job, leave it off.

Then pray that they do not "later" find out and fire you over lying or misrepresentation on your employment application.

I know of someone that was about to get a huge promotion and pay raise, till they discovered he lied on his employment application. From what I gather he is facing some legal issues over some of the employment benefits he received.

You only get to talk to him by appointment only. And there had better be a nice large check in your folder when you hand it to him.

No, you are all wrong. This is the holy one, the annointed messiah, his royal pain in the tucus Obama's fault and all of you who elected this communist. Your chickens have come home to roost. Your employers have no confidence in this flim-flam man you elected. Those of us with money have moved it out of harms way where Obama can't touch it.

I was going to add two employee's, but I have decided to just wait. I don't have to, I just am. So you unemployed losers who voted for the maniac messiah can just go stand in the unemployment line. Serves you right. Your choice has consequences, now go sllep in the bed you made.

You should be thinking that America is not near as racist as you think it is.

Well, good luck Indy Mom, because they denied mine. I should've fought it but decided I just couldn't right now. They made me think I was going to get it in the beginning, too.

Welcome to Obama's America. Welfare line forms to right, unemployment line to the left, soupline in the middle. Your one stop shop for all your families needs from now on. Until this socialist is gone, get used to it. Millions of you now unemployed vote for this yo-yo. How's that working for you ?
I did not vote for Obama, but how can you all blame him for this mess when he is not even in office yet??
