Unemployment Crisis

With the non extension of unemployment benefits 1.3 million job seekers will be cut off Dec 28th and this will impact 4.9 million by the end of 2014. Much of the media coverage, and bias political and economic chatter does not reflect the real numbers of people out of work.

Once you are off UE benefits you do not get counted so there are still 351,767 people who are unemployed is 

As a jobs advocate ( www.jobsadvocate.com) I know first hand working with these job seekers that the only solution is to create jobs and change attitudes towards the long-term unemployed.  We have a great group at Neighbors-helping=Neighbors USA where peers and others help our members with getting back to work. We have 359 success stories in just over two years. We soon will celebrate our There years and counting on Jan 27th 2014 when we had one meeting group in the River Edge Library and then added the second meeting 6 months later, the rest has been nothing short of amazing, 24 weekly groups, a program at Montclair State University which resumes Jan 22, 2014 with a LinkedIn Presentation from Joe Ned

and the continued motivation of 1200 member job seekers and 2800 in our LinkedIn group.
