Some people had better wake up and realize that the
unemployment money is going to be greatly reduced.

If you can find a job they better latch on to it.

Unemployment compensation money was only payable for
26 weeks ( before all of these extensions were made )
and you either went to work somewhere or you did without.

I would say it is very possible that after the election
it will all be cut back to 26 weeks,
because they don't have the money to pay for it.

I have a brother in West Virginia who can not find a job,
and it looking at heading to a job out of state, 960 miles away
and a 15 1/2 hour drive from his home .

It should never have gone beyond 26 weeks in the first place.

Sounds like he's headed to North Dakota? Good choice....lots of good paying jobs there. That's what you call doing what you have to do survive. He's a good man for considering all options, unlike the lazy slugs that infest America waiting for the "perfect job 10 minutes from home" to call them up.

He worked on a job in the same are once before and just stayed in a motel
and would go home maybe once a month, or his wife would drive down and stay a while.
