unemployment

I'm sorry but I laughed way too hard at this.

A friendly reminder to check, double-check and triple-check the origins of emails.

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder visited Flint on Friday. Snyder offered remarks at the grand opening of Kettering University's FIRST Robotics Community Center. WFNT got a few minutes with the governor where he spoke about Flint, federal assistance for the recent flooding that occurred in southeastern Michigan, the unemployment drop, Michigan Trails Week and the upcoming campaign season...

Congressman Dan Kildee (MI-05) and State Senator Jim Ananich will hold a roundtable discussion in Flint this afternoon highlighting the need for Congress to pass an extension of emergency unemployment benefits.

Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has signed a law that will deny unemployment benefits to job seekers who have failed company drug tests. The drug-testing law is a one-year pilot program. It permits employers to report if an individual seeking work refuses a drug test or fails a drug test...

The American economy created 155,000 new jobs in December, according to the latest report from the Labor Department. The unemployment rate is 7.8 percent, the same as November.

There was a time when a person would do just about anything in order to make ends meet. However, even with the unemployment rate dangling somewhere around 8 percent, many companies claim that they cannot find enough help to staff their operations.

Federal unemployment benefits are set to run out this holiday season for over 2 million Americans out there still looking for work. Their only chance for survival is if Congress decides to extend the deadline for them to file for an extension for those benefits. However, with amendments to the program made already earlier this year, the outcome appears very bleak.

It seems that there might be a correlation between long-term unemployment and poor health.

The word “unemployment” gets thrown around a lot during tough times and especially during major elections when it’s easy to throw a number on a situation that affects a lot of people. It’s easy to forget, though, that being unemployed can affect a lot more than a person’s bottom line.
