Unemployment is a major issue in this election. During this time of economic crisis many people have been laid off and are in search of work. But the fact that many people are unemployed is not the only problem. Many people have been forced to take up jobs in which they are very unhappy in order to pay the bills.

But this is only a temporary way to improve the job market.
I am very involved in the presidential discussions. There are several issues that directly affect my life and will be impacted differently based on the outcome of the 2012 Presidential Election.

It's hard to trust the statistics we hear about unemployment, debt, and the distribution of wealth in America. But no matter what sources you think are valid, the fact that the distribution of wealth in America is skewed is an easy point to prove. The video I watched today illustrated in a simple manner how the richer portion of Americans (which is a small percentage of people) own the majority of wealth in the United States; while the majority of Americans own a very small percentage of the wealth.
We all know that jobs are important; but in these tough times, why are people being laid off when now is the time to have a secure job? In this recession, the government should start making j
Everyone knows that this economy is bad. Everyone knows that unemployment is reaching new levels across america. But what we don't know is that individual states are getting the worst of it.
I've been thinking about my question about teens and jobs and now I'm wondering 'why is it that now during this time, why are so many people being laid off?'. i know that times are tough but
This economic crisis has affected everyone. But on the plus side, the stocks are starting to go up. We are starting to actually have some progress in fixing our economy.
