Unemployment is an issue for discussion. In a classmate's blog, a post introduces ideas to help the unemployment problem that is facing our nation today. The unemployment rates just seem to keep going up and up with little efforts to fix the problem. Any route that the government will try and take to fix this problem will just create more debt in our already dwindling economy. I have to disagree in the idea that the government should extend better unemployment benefits to the public. This would keep the public from continuing to try to find work, and just leave them to be lazy with no real reason to try very hard. This is a hard time for our nation but I believe we can push through it with a proper plan. Also, this idea is hard to believe that there wouldn’t be some kind of catch to it. I’m sure that with these benefits, debt would likely be involved.
The New York Times further writes on this topic saying that there are two reasons that unemployment rates are so slow. The first being that “there has been a big increase in the number of people not working purely by their own choice.” This category can be referred to as the “self-unemployed” and include “retirees, stay-at-home parents” and others doing “unpaid work.” The second explanation to the low rates would be a “jump in the number of people who aren’t working, who aren’t actively looking but who would, in fact, like to find a good job.” I think that finding a job is very time consuming and it takes a lot of will power. However, if you invest your time and attention to the situation, you will eventually be able to find something substantial.
