Unemployment benefits claims from early December rose to 474,000 people and with this being a higher number than expected, the question of when or if an unemployment benefits extension will come is still being asked by millions of Americans, some of whom may lose their benefits after December 31.
There are numerous reports, accounts, and stories of men and women depending on unemployment benefits while they look for jobs that seem to simply not be there or look to employers who are refusing to hire.
Unemployment benefits are a meager way for many to survive but it is some income for struggling men and women and with the job market seemingly far from booming there are many who need their benefits extended just so they can continue providing the basics.
However, many site this unemployment benefits claims number as being an inflation carried over from the Thanksgiving, but isn’t it time that we stop seeing such gross amounts of workers laid off and begin to see these massive numbers in the form of new jobs created and people hired?
It’s been repeatedly stated that there are both pros and cons for an unemployment benefits extension, and arguably each side can make a valid point but the reality of the situation is many Americans are having to pay for the greedy and irresponsible business practices of a few and while those who caused the economic turmoil are doing just fine financially, millions around the country are suffering.
Yet, is an extension of unemployment benefits the best thing to do or should the government and businesses aggressively seek new ways to create jobs and save current employees from facing unemployment?
Some have stated that proposed solutions for job creation will cost too much money that could be better spent elsewhere and if that is the case then what are some unemployment solutions?
