Unemployment is not a JOB. As the word so clearly illustrate, un (meaning not) employed.
The unemployment benefits that I am receiving were paid into the state unemployment fund by my previous employer.
It's not like I'm having a great time during this period. We had to cut back on our life style in order to survive this recesion.
I agreed with Jeff statement "I can't understand why someone would feel the need to pick on people in these sorts of predicaments - it's like beating up on a disabled kid. What's the point?"
Anyone could one day become a part of the unemployed.
