James L, TX, Unemployed Story #1862

After working over 25 yaers I lost my job in April of 2008! Then started recieving unemployment in March 2009. I've lost our home to foreclosure, lost both cars, and noved into a slum lords house for rent! I figure that after working at 75,000 a year over the last 25 years and my employers paying employment benfits I would have something more than just 92 weeks! I've looked for work all over the city and get nothing! Not not lazy or anything else! I've even looked for work where I would earn less money, just to get back on my feet!
