Sorry, but I look at all avenues for my job search - papers, internet, employment work center - you never know where a job will be posted.
What's confusing? This whole thread is devoted to the subject you're asking about. Instead of popping to the end of it and asking the original question all over again, go back to the beginning and read. You'll find all you need to know to date.
Wish we had that here - I only get the Sunday paper but pick up the Jobs.com, Metro and Bee during the week. As well as search NY State Dept of Labor, various online job boards as well as ecide - which keps me up to date on who's expanding, adding jobs ect - so I can check their websites for positions.
There is so much bickering on these boards and some people seem to forget that everyone is an individual. Just because jobs are plentiful in one state doesn't mean that they are in another - just because there are lots of openings - doesn't mean that everyone that's unemployed can fill that position. For some it's harder than others - due to lack of schooling or ability to perform certain jobs.
I will be forever grateful to Ariadne22, as they have gone out of their way to help everyone with questions on this forum. They've repeated themselves over and over and are never snippy or short with people no matter how many times they go over the same info. There are a couple of others too, who are so helpful, but I can't remember your names. Sorry!
Others here have no patience, love to belittle and are just ornery - is there a way I can ignore them?
i would buy that if the numbers werent so high for people still on unemployment after 6 months
Well anyone with sense knows that people are still unemployed because
1. Lots of competition
2. Not a lot of job postings
3. Companies only hiring from the inside
4. Long hiring process which can be 5 months
5. Jobs offering wages that are not high enough to live on which means you stay on UC

So true. Prime example right now is not many job postings in Philadelphia but plenty in the cities below
Baltmore
Washington, D.C
So if you live in those two cities you will have no problem finding a job
Also geographic area plays a factor. Although I'm in NJ, I live in the west, in the country, NYC metro area is not an option for me - which means less jobs. Relocating is not an option for me either. However, maybe along with extending UI, they will do something to stimulate hiring taxwise - it's about time!!
