And that’s great.!.BUT.. employers/ recruiters ask those not working “what you been doing past year?” AND are NOT anxious to help & hire those who’ve been out of work for months, BUT, instead hire people now working same type job & look for similar position & more money.!! Shame!

Just your taxes at work I guess, don’t touch my wallet!!! I earned all that I own.

horrible

That's it? So much for the theory that people are staying on unemployment because they're lazy...

First, it's crazy an incentive must be paid to get people to work but, setting that aside it sound not be paid until at least 6 months employment.
