Here it is coming to the end of May, and I still have not been able to find work. I have been laid off of work since Oct. 2008. That is 1 year and 7 months. It is not that I am not searching for work(double negative). The supply of jobs out there are very limited. I have had a few very good prospective positions, but there seemed to be a better qualified applicant. To play my little violin here for a second I did lose my job to illegal immigrants, me and about 8 other persons. California's unemployment rate is 12.5% EDD press release But what is the solution? It seem like everyone has an idea. My Idea is to lower taxes and make California more business friendly. We are one of the highest taxed states, I am not at all surprised that hiring is not on the top of the list for businesses here. There is also that new Health Care Law that is going to mandate coverage for businesses that are larger than 49 persons.(I would put the link to the healthcare bill but I didn't think that you wanted to sift through those thousands of pages, I sure didn't and most of Congress didn't either) Another reason to not hire. We as a country and a state are in a bad spot right now. I have a feeling that it is going to get worse after the false platform of the stimulus runs out. So my solution again is LOWER TAXES, make California more business friendly, even if that means that those FAT CAT, heavy spending politicians in Sacramento have to STOP SPENDING!!!! I swear if I ran my check book like our government does theirs I would be in jail for check FRAUD.
Well I will stay in school for now (I graduate in 3 semesters) and if I can't find work then it is off to a more work friendly state. Probably Arizona
Good Luck To All You Job Hunters Out There
