Employment? I have been in flint, michigan for a little over a year now. Why is it so hard to find a job? If anyone out tthere is from flint, got any advice? I'm getting ready to file for bankruptcy and all my fiance' and his mom do is yell at me to get a job. He has a job, he's the owner of a painting company, and his mom thinks i can just go out and find one no problem. Guess what it's not that easy anymore, that's what i tell her. I've never had any problem like this before, finding employment was always easy for me. Any employers reading this, your missing out on a great worker.

EmPLOYMENT!!!!!!!!!? could/have you ever or could/would you ever date someone that was unemployed? Qualification: they are only 'temporarily' unemployed (think about our economy...it may happen to any one!!!!) but temporary can be any where form a week to whenever...does it make you think less of that person...would you give them a chance or would you move on? i know that this is not an ideal situation to be in but you never know IF you may find youself in this situation as i add this i have trepidation...i don't need people to tell me that i haven't done what i can do (because i HAVE!!!)...this is the second time that i have found myself unemployed in the last 5 yrs now...the first was before i graduated college (14months) and now i am going on 6 months...believe you-me it is not for lack of trying!!!! i have a BA degree and qualifications for every job that i apply for...it seems the response overwhelmingly is...'we don't want qualified candidiates..we want cheap labor'...the flip side of that is 'you're overqualified' for the simple jobs that would afford me a 'life'...because they see the degree on my resume and know that it's not worth the risk to hire someone that they know can up and leave when something better comes along...the available jobs have dwindled while the pool has saturated...i haven't gone on the dole because i didn't think it would take this long...but what else can i do? now answer the question... .......... ........... ..........
What can Jobseekers and Employment Agencies do to avoid being FOOL by COMPANIES? When COMPANIES advertise for job openings the salary budget is "Negotiable". Then they get the employment agencies to help them to source for the same openings but setting different salary budgets for different employment agencies to work on. Currently employment agencies “Do Not Disclose Companies Name" to jobseekers they represent. Consequently the same jobseeker may be sending to the same "Company" directly or through different employment agencies with different salary budgets. 1) Now if you are the Company receiving the same CVs from the same jobseeker with different salary budget via different sources what will you think and do with the same jobseeker ? 2) If you are a Jobseeker, do you think you will get the job ? 3) If you are the Employment Agency do you think you can close the deal ? The consequences will be the Companies asking to see more CVs and lose confidence with the jobseekers at large and ended up taking a longer time for employment agencies to close deals. This will affect the survival of jobseekers and employment agencies. So I urge Employment Agencies “To Disclose Company Names" they represent to all jobseekers from the start to avoid duplicated CVs with different salary budgets ended in the hands of Companies. Jobseekers and Employment Agencies have to work closely to share information about Companies who are out there to "Test Market" and wasting jobseekers and employment agencies time, effort and money bearing in mind that the Companies do not pay a single cent at all. By not disclosing and sharing information about the "Companies" amongst employment agencies and jobseekers it will only drive employment agencies and jobseekers into desperation. Companies will take advantage of this weakness and keep setting lower and lower salary budgets for employment agencies to work on. This will further create for frustration and desperation amongst employment agencies and jobseekers. The job market in Singapore is small and the employment agencies and jobseekers have to work "Smart" and not let the Companies “Fool” them. Employment agencies should not worry about jobseekers sending their CVs direct to their Clients cause most of the Companies have that "Shopping for the Best Candidate" attitude through various sources. At the end of the day it is all about which jobseeker has the "BEST MATCH" in the eyes of the Companies not the employment agencies nor the jobseekers. Companies may instruct employment agencies “Not to Disclose" their Companies Names to jobseekers so that they are better "Manipulate" jobseekers and employment agencies. Companies usually want to portray themselves as good employers who are willing to pay what the jobseekers are worth for. So they choose to hide behind these employment agencies to "test market" without dirtying their own hands. I WELCOME PUBLIC COMMENTS ON THIS ISSUE !!

How much does your employment status and income level influence your politics? If you have solid, steady private-sector employment or high income, does it tend to cause you to be a conservative Republican? On the other hand, if you're either unemployed, government-employed, marginally-employed or have a lower income, does it tend to cause you to be a liberal Democrat? If either of these things are true, aren't politics more self-serving and biased than truth-based and objective?

How has linking health insurance to employment had an impact on ordinary Americans? I mean besides worrying that if the company you work for goes bankrupt there goes your health insurance and the COBRA extension; Also, wouldn't it be amazing if you could work the job you *want* rather than the one that offers the best benefits.

Ever tried buying insurance independently outside of an office pool with two pre-existing conditions? Even if you cut back on absolutely everything, it's still unaffordable.
