and how do you suggest people finance this retraining for a career move, and how will they know they're choosing a new field that won't end up the same as the field they're currently unable to find work in?

So what career are these loggers doing now?
And did they get subsidized for this training, as Opelieye noted, most people do not have money to retrain......I would be very for the idea of extended UI to be coupled with help for retraining (i.e. gov't helps you retrain and if you are not in a retraining program you don't get extended UI), but UI itself barely lets the unemployed survive in the interim so it can't simply be "retrain with your UI pay".
Update...Diogirl - FYI....I went down to UI office and was told that since i have a misconduct on my UI claim, they can not approve me for EB...are there any other programs that can help me feed my family?

Did they explain why they had sent you the tan EB work search form? Were they in the process of evaluating your eligibility for EB?
In response to your question about other help, New Jersey's Department of Human Services has a range of programs to assist individuals and families throughout the state. For details, see DHS Services Lobby

The women told me that in the State of NJ, anyone who has a "misconduct" hold on their UI claim, can not collect. I have $$ in my account but it is frozen because of the violation. The notice is sent to everyone who collects the inital claim and all extentions prior to EB. This stinks.
thats right more and more are LOSING their jobs. What was it, 500,000!!! Holy crap. Listen I see it almost hopeless.
OK while it is a bad sign, not because it means 500,000 people lost their jobs. There's always people filing for unemployment, while at the same time others are getting hired. Even in the BEST of modern times a little under 300,000 people were filing a new unemployment claim each week. In fact, with the current size of the labor force, getting it to about 400,000 or less each week means jobs expansion.
The troubling sign is that we were just starting to get the weekly claims into the low 400Ks when they started creeping back up again. I believe at the worst part of the recession to date we were running about 650K new UI claims/week.
If you're going to note negative news, at least tell it right.
