EDD

EDD Reports...

There have been updates reported by EDD of the continuous layoffs/job loss in San Jose reaching 31,100, with 800 of them just from December. And for the Bay Area they are anticipating 4,700 jobs will be lost in April 2010 as United Motor Manufacturer is expecting to start eliminating jobs too.

What are we to do people?

When we speak to the jobseekers it is heartbreaking. So many folks have been looking for so long, even up to a year and with only a few interviews. They are more than qualified, very well skilled, and educated with absolutely no reason for not being able to find a job. I don’t know about you guys but this is scary.

Especially for those trying to collect their unemployment benefits, what about the ones that are running out of benefits. Obama has promised a third unemployment extension, but what then? Welfare… Tent City?
